Gaelic Song Workshop for Young People<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dedicated space for teenage Gaelic speakers to learn and build a collection of Gaelic songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by award-winning singer Margaret Stewart, a native Gaelic speaker from the Isle of Lewis, the workshop draws on her deep knowledge of Gaelic song, extensive repertoire, and understanding of its cultural and historical context. A M\u00f2d Gold Medallist, and Scots Trad Music Hall of Fame inductee, Margaret brings decades of experience as a performer, researcher and tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through song learning, conversation, and shared listening, participants will grow in confidence in Gaelic singing and build a collection of songs for solo performance, ensembles, c\u00e8ilidhs, or informal sessions. Sessions will take a participatory, workshop-style approach, supporting musical development, language confidence, and cultural awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a rare opportunity for young Gaelic speakers to learn directly from Margaret herself, and to connect with their musical heritage in a supportive peer environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suitable for age 13+<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can make tickets available free of charge for children who would benefit from this opportunity, but for whom cost would be a barrier. Contact moira@anlanntair.com<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
