Originally commissioned to commemorate the quarter-centenary of the great Lewis bard Murdo MacFarlane (1901-1982), and staged as the sellout opening concert of 2007’s Hebridean Celtic Festival, Dhachaigh (Home) features new original compositions alongside stunning treatments of his classic songs, linked by themes of emigration and homecoming. A line-up of today’s finest Lewis musicians – singers Ishbel MacAskill, Christine Primrose, Fiona Mackenzie and Calum Alex MacMillan, plus fiddler Alasdair White – are joined by Aidan O’Rourke, Fraser Fifield and Brian Ó hEadhra, in arrangements that range from solo and unaccompanied to lush full-ensemble numbers.

Tickets:  £12.50
