| Our programmes ... ... Ar Pr�graman |
| We perform a variety of programmes, tailored to suit our audiences. We cater for all ages, from nursery-school children, right up to their great grannies and grandpas. A short demonstration, or a whole evening's entertainment - our performance can be as long or as short as you wish. We insist on audience participation. Some of our programmes are illustrated with PowerPoint slides. It's educational! It's fun! |

| PROGRAMME 1: Cl� na Hearadh ... Making Harris Tweed We illustrate in song the whole process of tweed production, from the sheep to the finished garment. PROGRAMME 2: Orain Obrach ... Work Songs We perform songs which accompanied other everyday tasks - spinning, milking, churning, grinding corn ... PROGRAMME 3: Feuds, Fights ... and Fairies! Songs and stories from Highland history. Hear about ancient clan battles and dark deeds ... fairies ... Jacobites ... culminating in Trod nan Cailleach (The Old Wives' Quarrel) - the re-enactment of a poetical name-calling contest across the waulking-board - with fatal results! (Not for those of a nervous disposition!) PROGRAMME 4: Kennedy-Fraser and Her Sources We sing some of Marjory Kennedy-Fraser's well-known Songs of the Hebrides, comparing them with original traditional versions. PROGRAMME 5: A'sn�omh agus a'dathadh A talk - with songs - on the ancient crafts of spinning and dyeing. PROGRAMME 6: Airson na cloinne ... Songs and stories (in Gaelic or English) specially for the children. |
