NAIDHEACHDAN – 7mh dhen Mhàrt / NEWS - March 7th

S e deireadh-seachdain air leth trang a th’ air a bhith ann le consairtean ann an Glaschu agus ann an Uibhist a Tuath gus an clàr ùr a chur air bhog. Chaidh a h-uile rud gu math agus bha spòrs agus fealla-dhà gu leòr ann. Bu thoil le Julie agus Eamon taing a thoirt dhan h-uile duine a thàinig a-mach gus taic a chur riutha! Feumar taing a thoirt dha na daoine a chuidich gus na consairtean a chur air dòigh – tha tuilleadh ’s a chòir agaibh ann, ach taing mhòr dhuibh uile, gu h-àraid do Rona agus do dh’Ùisdean. Rinn Julie & Eamon air Glaschu an uairsin far an robh iad a’ dèanamh clàradh airson pròiseact le Magaidh NicAonghais air a bheil “Òran na Mna”. ’S e pròiseact inntinneach a tha seo a tha a’ coimhead air buaidh nam boireannach ann an òrain Ghàidhlig. Bidh seo air a’ chraoladh nas fhaide air adhart air a’ bhliadhna. Am measg nam feadhainn eile a bha ann bha Màiri Nic a’ Ghobhainn, Karen NicMhathain, Flòraidh NicNèill, Alyth NicCarmaig, Màiri Mhoireasdan agus Kathleen NicAonghais.

Tha tòrr chuirmean eile a’ tighinn a-steach airson an t-samhraidh – innsidh sinn dhuibh mun dèidhinn cho luath agus as urrainn dhuinn.

Cuideachd – tha lèintean-t ùr "cuilidh" a-nis anns a’ bhùth! Nach coimhead thu orra, agus air na balaich chomasach a bhios gan dèanamh dhuinn aig Streak Clothing.

Barrachd ri thighinn ann an ùine nach bi fada...


It's been a busy weekend of launch concerts in Glasgow and North Uist. A great time was had by all, and Julie and Eamon would like to thank all the folk who came out and supported them! Thanks are also due to all the people who helped set up the launches - too many to mention everyone, but our sincere thanks to you all, especially Rona and Uisdean. Julie & Eamon headed to Glasgow then, where they filmed for a project by Maggie McInnes called "Oran na Mna". This is an interesting idea which explores the concept of the role of women in Gaelic song, which will be broadcast later in the year. Also involved were the lovely Mary Smith, Karen Matheson, Flora MacNeil, Alyth MacCormack, Mairi Morrison and Kathleen MacInnes.

Lots of dates coming in for the summer - we'll keep you informed as soon as we get the go ahead to announce them.

Also - new "cuilidh" t-shirts have been added to the store! Check them out, and the talented lads who produce them for us at Streak Clothing.

More news soon...
