Fàilte / Witamy / Welcome is a Gaelic and Polish concert hosted by the award winning, nationally regarded Inverness Gaelic Choir (adult) and groups from the Gaelic community here in Inverness - with very special guests The Warsaw Village Band from Poland. This concert extends a Gaelic welcome to our Polish community – embracing the individuality of each culture, whilst celebrating the common language of music.
Under the baton of Jamie MacGregor, Inverness Gaelic Choir is shaking up the Gaelic choral scene, taking the genre in new directions to great acclaim. The choir is currently recording a CD which will be released by Macmeanmna in 2008 and they will be singing at the Traditional Music Awards in Fort William at the beginning of December.
Voted “Best Newcomer” at the 2004 BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards, Warsaw Village Band are an innovative and exciting young six-piece who combine traditional instruments and music with their own contemporary style.
This event has been organised as part of Highland 2007 - the year Scotland celebrates Highland culture.
