Date for your diary, on Thursday 24th September, we have two events exploring the tradition of Gaelic psalm singing. Join us in Taigh Chearsabhagh for a singing workshop with Rob MacNeacail from 2-4pm, followed by a screening of the Sailm nan Daoine film in Carinish Hall at 7pm.

Sailm nan Daoine is an entertaining and heart-warming film about the power of community, family and the resilience needed to keep a language alive. Based on Rob MacNeacail's road trip across Scotland and Ireland, the soundtrack incorporates melodies, field recordings and musical encounters made along the way.

Tickets for the film and the workshop are available on our website, save by booking both events together!
