Gaelic and Scots Song workshops at the Scottish Storytelling Centre

Paul McKenna

Sat 7 June | 11am – 12.30pm

Gaelic Waulking Songs with Katie Macfarlane

Suitable for both Gaelic and non-Gaelic speakers, this workshop will focus on Scottish Gaelic songs that were used in the tradition of “waulking” the tweed – songs which were primarily composed and sung by women.

Sat 7 June | 1.30 – 3pm

Scots Songs from Glasgow with Paul McKenna

Join Paul McKenna for an inspiring workshop as we explore a vibrant collection of songs form Glasgow, Greater Glasgow, and Paisley – areas steeped in rich industrial history. Many of these songs echo the struggles, triumphs, and stories of the working-class experience, while also weaving in classic themes of Scots song – love, life, and the land. A journey through melody and history not to be missed.
