Sèimh: The State of Calm
(Tue 21 Feb: 7:30pm)
Celebrated Gaelic singer-songwriter Gillebrìde MacMillan performs his eagerly anticipated album of original Gaelic songs Sèimh: The State of Calm. Immersed in the Gaelic traditions and customs of his native South Uist, Gillebrìde has also gained critical acclaim for his powerful and evocative songwriting. In the best traditions of singer-songwriters he shares stories of love, loss and longing as well as songs dealing with political and social issues with the Gaelic lyrics, original melodies and instrumentation weaving together to create a soundtrack of contemporary Gaelic Scotland rooted firmly within the tradition.
Gillebrìde is joined by Ewan MacPherson (guitar), Deirdre Morrison (fiddle) and Fraser Fifield (whistle).
