Gaelic Ceilidh

1 August 2005

Despite Lismore having had a very busy social weekend of dances, sports and a barbeque, a good crowd turned up on a Monday night to hear three young singers, Mary and Gillibride MacMillan with Sineag MacIntyre. Before the Ceilidh the three gave a Gaelic singing workshop. Most of the evening programme were songs from their home island of South Uist with some from Mull and ending with Leaving Lismore. Donald Black introduced the singers and in reply they promised that their next visit would consist of a lot more local songs as they were now very glad to have a copy of Margaret Lobban’s “Bards of Mull and Lismore”.
