At the end of May, the Comann Eachdraidh hosted another successful weekend. On Saturday morning Mairead MacDonald from Skye tutored eleven students and after lunch Donald Black guided them on an historical tour. In the evening he chaired a Ceilidh and Dance with The Crowdie House Band from Edinburgh performing and playing for the dancing.
There were also enjoyable items from Angus Nicholson on the pipes and Mary MacDougall, Sarah Black, Freda MacGregor, Moira Thomson, Margaret Lobban and Duncan Livingstone singing. Jack Scorgie recited, a student played the accordion, and visitors played the guitar and tin whistle.
Gaelic Weekend 31 May 2003 Gaelic choir
With the Comann Eachdraidh growing and extending its influence these weekends are becoming more popular. Which will all help with their fund raising for the second stage of the development of the Gaelic Heritage Centre where the reconstructed cottage Taigh Iseabal is already attracting visitors.
