Solas Festival, 24mh den Òg-mhìos / 24th of June
Air is aig Solas Festival am bliadhna - 24mh Òg-mhìos! Tha e na urram mòr dhomh a bhith air mo liostachadh còmhla ris na daoine gu h-ìosal agus trì bhùthan-obrach Sgeulachaidh agam nam pàirt den fhèis ann an 2017. Bithidh mi a' tarraing à eachraidh phearsanta mo theaghlaich ann am Muile a' thaobh nam Fuadaichean ann an Dàna-Thursan ri Aibidil nan Craobhan gu sònraichte, agus tha e a' ciallachadh tòrr dhomh gun deach iomradh a dhèanamh air an obair agam ann an aon àite ri leithid Andy Wightman & Lesley Riddoch, dìthis a tha air an t-uabhas a dhèanamh a' coimhead air a' cheist seo gu sònraichte agus mar a tha còraichean fearainn a' toirt buaidh air ghnòthaichean a' latha an-diugh ann an Alba fhathast.
I'm delighted to be returning to the fantastic Solas Festival for a second time and deeply honoured to be mentioned in the company of leading Scottish land rights figures Andy Wightman & Lesley Riddoch for this year's festival - Adventures with the Gaelic Tree Alphabet draws directly from the impact the Clearances had on my Scottish ancestors' in Mull and their decision to head to Australia in the 1850's, so it means a huge amount for my work to be grouped together with those who have done so much to highlight not just the injustices of the Clearances, but land rights issues in Scotland today. I'll be performing three of the four bilingual, immersive, interactive Storytelling shows I've developed since moving to Scotland in late 2012 at this year's Solas Festival, including the latest commissioned especially for Cabraich Rafters: Community, Arts & Learning in Lewis this year: Warrior Queen Sgàthach & The Blue Men of The Minch!
