I'm really pleased to be heading over to South Uist for this poetry event and creative workshop for Às an Tobar.
I'll then be in Barra with Gordon and it will be lovely to be where Gaelic is at the heart of communities.

Absolutely thrilled to welcome the Calum Stewart trio as support for our #Depositions performance at #CelticConnections! Calum, like many who will grace the stage that night, is one of #Scotland's finest musicians and so it's certain there will be a wealth of talent on the night.
