What is... Gaelic in Traditional Arts?

with Brian Ó hEadhra | Edinburgh Tradfest 2026

(Fri 8 May: 1pm)

Fiù ’s mur eil Gàidhlig agad, ma tha thu a’ fuireach ann an Alba, tha fios gum bi thu mothachail air beartas agus bòidhchead a’ chànain agus a traidiseanan cultarail - gu sònraichte ann am bàrdachd, sgeulachdan agus ceòl. Thig an cuideachd Gàidheal cliùiteach, an ceòladair Brian Ó hEadhra gus barrachd ionnsachadh mu phrìomh àite na Gàidhlig ann a bhith a’ toirt cruth air Ealain Thraidiseanta ann an Alba bhon àm a dh’fhalbh chun an latha an-diugh.

Even if there’s no Gaelic ‘at you’, living in Scotland you can’t fail to be aware of the richness and beauty of the language and its cultural traditions - in poetry, storytelling and music in particular. Join celebrated Gael and musician Brian Ó hEadhra to learn more about Gaelic’s central role in defining the Traditional Arts in Scotland to this day.
