Feis Rois are looking forward to welcoming 21 visitors from North Friesland – a group of small islands off the coast of Germany. They have their own minority language and culture (Frisian), and they are looking forward to visiting Scotland to learn more about Scottish Gaelic culture and to share our music, song and dance.

Feis Rois are putting on a couple of special events during their visit, and all are invited to join in the celebrations.

THURSDAY 27 OCTOBER, CONCERT AT BOGBAIN FARM, INVERNESS, 8 – 10pm

Please come and join in an evening of fantastic traditional music and song at Bogbain Farm. Feel free to bring an instrument and join in too! Entry is £5 on the door.

FRIDAY 28 OCTOBER, FAMILY CEILIDH, THE STABLES, CROMARTY, 8 – 11pm

This promises to be a fun night of dancing and music for all the family. As well as Scottish ceilidh dancing, the Frisian visitors will teach you some of their folk dances and they will be wearing their traditional dress (which takes two hours to put on)!!! Entry is £5 on the door and £3 concession.

DON’T FORGET to get your tickets for our Feis Rois is 25! concert at Eden Court Theatre on Friday 11th November. This promises to be an extra special night with over 40 performers representing the 25 years of Feis Rois. Many Feis Rois tutors will perform alongside participants and tradition bearers, Aonghas Grant, Rona Lightfoot, John Carmichael and Fergie MacDonald.

This is a very special one-off concert. Not to be missed!
