His renditions of some traditional classics that I remember my father playing on his old 78’s are truly inspiring. His diction is so crisp that even as a very rusty Irish Gaelic speaker I can make out much of the Scots Gaelic. I only wish my father were alive today to enjoy them.

I’m pleased to have touched on topics that people find interesting, and I too would like to explore them more deeply, especially the role of song in revitalisation of the Gaelic language.

Hope to see more articles delving deeper into these issues in the future.
