Srùbag!  Cèilidh Seinn na Gàidhlig – Gaelic Song Cèilidh

Srùbag is a monthly Gaelic/Celtic language zoom ceilidh, 1930 pm UK/Ireland time and usually the second Friday. Scottish and Irish Gaelic songs are welcome, as are songs from the wider Celtic family such as Breton and Welsh songs. We have a monthly Guest singer and additionally the song turn goes round the virtual “Room”. Please drop in and bring your own Srùbag (cuppa) and a song, or drop in to listen. Please see our Facebook page or contact me for the Zoom link and/or more information.

How did it start? Srùbag was co-launched early in the pandemic period by Linn Phipps and Marcas Mac an Tuairneir – Gaelic poet-cum-singer (https://www.facebook.com/marcasmac), both choristers with the Edinburgh-based Lothian Gaelic Choir, where Marcas is also one of the two Gaelic tutors. We felt that there were a lot of pre-recorded ceilidhs but not enough virtual spaces for sharing Gaelic songs live and online. Marcas is now fully focussed on his creative and freelance work, however Linn is continuing – after over two years! – to host the ceilidhs with the support of five co-hosts, based from the USA to Ireland, Brittany and Paris!
