Feis Tir A’ Mhurainn, the annual Gaelic Medium Feis, will be held in
Daliburgh School from Monday 12th to Friday 16th July. They have an
excellent group of tutors this year, including some home grown talent, and
are hoping to have the following subjects, Drama, Singing, Guitar,
Keyboard, Accordion, Chanter, Tin-Whistle, Fiddle, Clarsach, Art, Highland
Dancing and Shinty. Also on offer for the younger Feis participants, who
do not take part in any of the instrument classes, will be storytelling and
games. Participants may choose four subjects, one of which must be drama
and/or singing.
As a new development this year to attract the older age group they are
offering “group work”. This will be a chance for the more competent
artists to develop their skills together in a new and exciting way. The
price for the week is £20 per child (£15 for any additional children from the
same family). This includes transport to the Feis from Benbecula and
Eriskay.
Evening activities will include an informal ceilidh in Kildonan on Tuesday
13th July. The fantastic tutor’s ceilidh will be held in St Peter’s on
Wednesday 14th and the grand finale will be held on Friday 16th in Daliburgh
School at 7pm.
