A series of live online Facebook events will be held this summer to promote the Gaelic language in 九秀直播 and Bute and provide opportunities for communities to come together.
The events will take place on the 九秀直播 and Bute Gaelic Forum鈥檚 Facebook page and each one will feature a well-known, popular musician or songwriter.
The first event will be held at 8pm on Thursday 27 May and will star Ian Smith from Trail West.
Ian was born and raised on the Isle of Tiree before going on to study a BA Hons in Scottish Music at the Royal Conservatoire. A talented accordianist and native Gaelic speaker, he will entertain viewers with his vast array of musical skills.
Leader of 九秀直播, Councillor Robin Currie, said: 鈥溇判阒辈 and Bute has a long history of rich Gaelic heritage and it is vital that this does not become a forgotten part of our history.
鈥淣ot only will these live events help us to preserve the Gaelic language and provide people with some light entertainment after an extremely difficult year, they will also help raise the profile of some of the wonderful musicians we have in 九秀直播 and Bute.
鈥淚 hope that people make the most of this opportunity and log in to watch the events. I know I certainly will be.鈥
The event has been funded by F猫isean nan G脿idheal鈥檚 鈥淭asgadh鈥 fund.

Thogadh Iain ann an Tiriodh mus deach e gu Acadamh-chi霉il R矛oghail na h-Alba, far an do rinn e Ceum Urramach ann an Ce貌l na h-Alba.
