Two Things I'll Be Doing This Year

The traditional Scottish Gaelic milling group I sing with, An Cliath Clis, will be recording its second live CD at the annual An Cliath Clis milling frolic in late April. I'll be singing two songs for the CD, Alasdair Mhic Cholla and Coisich a Rùin. The CDs will be $20 each, and they'll be as close as you can get to authentic Gaelic song without passing the cloth yourself.

It also looks like I'll be offering a presentation about the preservation/revival of Gaelic in Nova Scotia at the Celtic Gathering Canada 2011 in Mansfield, Ontario. I delivered two presentations at the first Celtic gathering two years ago; a survey of Celtic languages and a bodhrán workshop.
