A profoundly moving work that tells the story of survival, community and faith
An Treas Suaile (The Third Wave): An evening of music and song and remembrance with Julie Fowlis and Duncan Chisholm.

In the early hours of New Year’s Day 1919, more than 200 servicemen returning from the First World War drowned when their boat sank at the entrance to Stornoway Harbour. The tragedy of HMY Iolaire continues to cast a long shadow across the islands, many of whose residents have close connections with the men who perished. 100 years after the event and inspired by John Finlay MacLeod, whose heroism and quick thinking helped save dozens of lives that night, Julie Fowlis and Duncan Chisholm created a new work entitled An Treas Suaile (The Third Wave) which brought audiences closer to this devastating story.
 
The production was part of 14-18 NOW, the UK’s five-year arts programme marking the centenary of the First World War.  The work was originally co-commissioned with An Lanntair to mark 100 years since the Iolaire disaster.
 
An Treas Suaile gives a powerful insight into the events leading up to the tragedy, together with incredible stories of survival, community and faith. 
 
Join Julie and Duncan with special guest Megan Henderson for an evening of music, song and a presentation of the original work.
