Join us for an evening of Gaelic poetry, music and song, brought together by Jeni Flannigan (Bothan Dhùn Èideann/Lusan Buì) and hosted by Màiri Britton. Come with us and immerse yourself in Gaelic’s living traditions as we celebrate this year’s festival theme, The Space Between, by exploring the idea of thresholds. You’ll be in good company, with performances from Ceitidh Chaimbeul, babs nicgriogair and Màrtainn Mac an t-Saoir, alongside award-winning fiddle player Rona Wilkie and other voices from the wider Gaelic-speaking community.
