Sing Me a Story – Cuir Seinn ri Seanchas

Oidhche a’ comharrachadh beul-aithris na Gàidhealtachd is nan Eilean agus an ceòl a thig na chois, le sàr luchd-ciùil Ailean MacEanraig, Maighread Stiùbhart, Eòghann MacEanraig, Sìleas Nic na Ceàrdaich, Eòghann Robasdan agus Donnchadh Siosalach. Bidh sgeulachdan mu ulaidh, sìthichean agus bòcain gam measgachadh gu h-ealanta le naidheachdan  a tha an dà chuid èibhinn agus muladach. Carson a chaidh bàs Rìgh na Suaine a chaoidh cho mòr air a’ Ghàidhealtachd, agus cò  an Gàidheal a bha a’ ruith còmhla ri John Dillinger agus a ghràisg? Thèid gach ceist a fhreagairt an cois cuid den cheòl thraidiseanta as fheàrr a gheibhear.

As part of the Celtic Connections ‘Whisper the Song’ series of events celebrating Scotland’s Year of Stories, Sing Me a Story – Cuir Seinn ri Seanchas is celebration of the storytelling tradition in the Highlands and Islands and the music that goes with it, featuring Allan Henderson, Margaret Stewart, Ewen Henderson, Sileas Sinclair, Ewan Robertson and Duncan Chisholm. Tales of hidden treasure, fairies and bòcain mingle easily with stories both humourous and tragic. Why was the death of a Swedish king mourned so deeply in the Gaeltachd and who was the Gaelic speaker that ran with the John Dillinger gang? All will be revealed, to the accompaniment of some of the best traditional music around.
