BOOK LAUNCH EVENTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday September 9th<\/sup>,  at 7pm in Coigach Community Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ronan Martin and Valerie Bryan will talk about the background to the project and its archival value, and answer any questions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be recordings of Andy\u2019s songs, and food supplied by Tanera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday September 10th<\/sup>, at 7 pm, at the Ceilidh Place Venue in Ullapool <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be singing and playing some of Andy\u2019s songs, joined by local musicians Mairearad Green, Michael Bryan, and Kim Richards, who also illustrated the book.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, due to deteriorating health, Andy himself is unlikely to be present at either event.  However we plan to present the book quietly to Andy in his home in Portree, soon after his 80th<\/sup> Birthday on August 21st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
