From Arthur Cormack<\/p>\n
Very sad to hear tonight of the passing of the great Portnahaven Gaelic singer, Donald MacLeod. Just at New Year his grand-daughter Tweeted a message to say how much he was enjoying C\u00e8ilidh na Bliadhn’ \u00d9ire on BBC ALBA and it was great to know he was watching. It was a privilege to have known him. As well as being a fabulous singer, he was an utter gentleman and always a pleasure to meet.<\/p>\n
He was inducted to the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2011 and you can read more about him here http:\/\/bit.ly\/2G2XmGI<\/a>.<\/p>\n Have a listen to Donald’s great voice on ‘Mo ribhinn choibhneil’ through this link http:\/\/bit.ly\/2tTzNeL<\/a> and ‘B\u00ecrlinn Ghoraidh Chr\u00f2bhain’ by Islay’s Duncan Johnston through this link http:\/\/bit.ly\/2G177W0<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Arthur Cormack Very sad to hear tonight of the passing of the great Portnahaven Gaelic singer, Donald MacLeod.
