About Me

hallo, failte a' chairdean: 's sinne fionnar :) !
welcome to our band myspace
Our name literally translates as "fresh/cool". we'd like to think our music maybe reflects both those things. We were founded, as a group, in 2003 as part of a Highland council initiative to bring young people together to join in Gaelic singing activities and to promote Gaelic Language and Culture to a wider audience.
We are led by mod gold medalist, Fiona Mackenzie, who is also the holder of the Màiri Mhòr Gaelic Song Fellowship (visit her myspace in our top friends) ;)we're are all either Native/Fluent gaelic speakers or are learning gaelic at school and are all between the ages of 14 and 18.
We enjoy a good festival here and there, and we've represented scotland at Festivals in Ireland, Wales and throughout Scotland.
As well as singing, many of us are multi-instrumentalist, and combined we play: pipes, fiddles, clarsachs, keyboards, box, flutes and whistles. Also some traditional Scottish dancing. Gaelic Language, Culture and Traditions are all extremely important to all of us, and we hope that, through our music we can reach a wider audience and promote our very special, precious language.
we hope you enjoy our singing, oh and a quick wee cheeky plug
we have a cd out; if you're interested, send us a wee message :)
tapa leibh :) agus oidhche mhath ma tha
