Guthan: Voices

Am Pàipear is working with the Guthan nan Eilean/Island Voices project on a new phase which will see community members publishing their own stories and audio or video clips here. Get in touch if you’d like to take part!

Bodach a’ Phuill Mhònaidh agus Òran a’ Chogaidh

Not long ago Gordon Wells sat down with Lachie Morrison and switched on his recorder while they chatted and Lachie sang some songs. They were the songs of Lachie’s father, Pàdruig, who was also a renowned story teller. Here are two of them.

(If you use an iPad or an iPhone please follow this link.)

The words for both songs are available on the Guthan nan Eilean site.

No doubt there are other community members who have songs or stories that would be well worth listening to. If you would like help with recording them, just let us know!
