Seinn Air Loidhne - Online Scottish Gaelic Song Class - Sep/Oct 2025

Join Highland-based acclaimed Gaelic singer, Brian Ó hEadhra, to learn Scottish Gaelic songs each week online. You will learn traditional and new Gaelic songs in an enjoyable and informative manner. Course material includes òrain luaidh (waulking songs), port-à-beul (mouth music), ballads, and more. Bidh fàilte bhlàth romhaibh / All very welcome!

The course is aimed at both Gaelic learners and fluent speakers. We will concentrate on pronunciation, musical delivery and song/cultural provenance. Students are encouraged to ask questions and we use online resources such as Tobar an Dualchais to research the material and hear archive recordings.

You will sing on mute (don't worry!) and lyrics will be provided on screen for you to follow under guidance from Brian. The class is delivered in both English and Gàidhlig and made accessible to all (whatever your knowledge of Gaelic).

Classes are on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm BST (Scottish time). This course lasts for five weeks and the dates are 30 September, 7, 14, 21, 28 October 2025.
