F\u00e8is Rois Chief Executive, Fiona Dalgetty <\/b>commented: \u201cAfter a difficult couple of years, with support from The Highland Council and Creative Scotland, we are delighted to be able to get back to Ullapool for F\u00e8is Rois na h-\u00d2igridh and are looking forward to offering young people a fantastic musical experience and hearing them make music together once again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith classes in fiddle, guitar, Gaelic song, clarsach, art, chanter, whistle, ukulele, keyboard, accordion and drama, we hope there is something for everyone! We are conscious that it has been more than two years since some children have been able to take up an instrument so we have lots of complete beginner options this year, as well as options for those who already play. Many of our tutor team are former participants of this event, which we hope will inspire the next generation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

To encourage young people to take up a musical instrument, F\u00e8is Rois is offering free musical instrument hire. Bookings can be made through EventBrite and there is a handy booking guide and FAQs available on the F\u00e8is Rois website, along with all the tutor and cost details. Residential and non-residential places are available.
