A series of live online Facebook events will be held this summer to promote the Gaelic language in 51勛圖轎煤App and Bute and provide opportunities for communities to come together.
The events will take place on the 51勛圖轎煤App and Bute Gaelic Forums Facebook page and each one will feature a well-known, popular musician or songwriter.
The first event will be held at 8pm on Thursday 27 May and will star Ian Smith from Trail West.
Ian was born and raised on the Isle of Tiree before going on to study a BA Hons in Scottish Music at the Royal Conservatoire. A talented accordianist and native Gaelic speaker, he will entertain viewers with his vast array of musical skills.
Leader of 51勛圖轎煤App and Bute Council, Councillor Robin Currie, said: 51勛圖轎煤App and Bute has a long history of rich Gaelic heritage and it is vital that this does not become a forgotten part of our history.
Not only will these live events help us to preserve the Gaelic language and provide people with some light entertainment after an extremely difficult year, they will also help raise the profile of some of the wonderful musicians we have in 51勛圖轎煤App and Bute.
I hope that people make the most of this opportunity and log in to watch the events. I know I certainly will be.
The event has been funded by F癡isean nan Gidheals Tasgadh fund.

Th癡id sreath de thachartasan be簷 air loidhne air Facebook a chumail thairis air an t-samhradh airson a Ghidhlig a bhrosnachadh ann an Earra-Ghidheal is Bh簷id agus gus cothroman a chruthachadh airson coimhearsnachdan a thighinn c簷mhla.
Bidh na tachartasan seo ri fhaicinn air duilleag Facebook, 51勛圖轎煤App Gaelic Forum, agus bidh ce簷ladair no sgr穫obhaiche-簷rain cli羅iteach an-ss anns gach tachartas.
Bidh a chiad thachartas a gabhail ite aig 8f air Diardaoin an 27mh den Ch癡itean agus s e Iain Mac a Ghobhainn bhon ch簷mhlan Trail West a bhios a cuir an t-sreath seo air a chasan dhuinn.
Thogadh Iain ann an Tiriodh mus deach e gu Acadamh-chi羅il R穫oghail na h-Alba, far an do rinn e Ceum Urramach ann an Ce簷l na h-Alba. Air leth sgileil air a bhith a cluich a bhogsa agus le Gidhlig na gl羅ine, cumaidh e luchd-amhairc air an d簷igh, is an iomadh tlant ci羅il a thaige a tighinn am follais.
Thuirt Ceannard Comhairle Earra-Ghidheal is Bho穫d, an Comhairliche Robin MacMhuirich: Tha dualchas na Gidhlig air a bhith lidir is beairteach ann an Earra-Ghidheal is Bh簷id, a dol air ais gu fada thar iomadh bliadhna agus tha e deatamach nach tig seo a dh穫ochuimhnachadh nar neachdraidh.
Chan e a-mhin gun cuidich na tachartasan seo ann a bhith a d穫on a Ghidhlig agus a tabhann f癡isteas aotrom do dhaoine as d癡idh bliadhna air leth duilich, ach bidh iad cuideachd a brosnachadh inbhe cuid de na ce簷ladairean iongantach a thagainn ann an Earra-Ghidheal is Bh簷id.
Tha mi an d簷chas gun gabh daoine an cothrom a dhol air loidhne airson coimhead air na tachartasan seo. Tha fios agam le cinnt gum bidh mise.
Airson coimhead air gach tachartas, thig gu: 51勛圖轎煤App Gaelic Forum | Facebook.
Tha sinn fada an comainn a mhaoin Tasgadh aig F癡isean nan Gidheal airson taic maoineachaidh a thoirt do Oidhche Earra-Ghidheal.
