Còisir Alba / Alba Choir

08/03/2026

Celebrating by shouting out all the fabulous females but in particular, super alto Audrey Paterson who was not only word and music perfect at this weekend’s practice but also, was singing her heart out until the small hours on Sunday morning; all the more impressive, considering her recent week of radiography treatment. Abair rionnag a th’ innte 🤩

P.S Exciting Còisir Alba performance news coming soon!

Abair tlachd agus urram a bh’ ann seinn aig Cuirm Beat the Drum ann an Glaschu aig deireadh na seachdain. Talla làn gaoil agus spèis do agus an cuid ciùil - abair dìleab ❤️ Seo blasad den òran àlainn aca ‘In Search of Angels’.

A clip from Friday night of the glorious In Search of Angels, performing with Beat The Drum - The Runrig Experience in the sold out Glasgow Concert Hall. Hearing 2,500 people celebrating the songs of Runrig was something truly special and we felt honoured to be a part of it. What a legacy they’ve left us & what a joy to be part of the Runrig experience ❤️

'S e urram dha-rìribh a th' ann cuireadh fhaighinn gus seinn aig an tachartasan chlùiteach seo gus 25 bliadhna de Phàrlamaid na h-Alba a chomharrachadh. Tha i nas cudromaiche buileach dhuinn gun tèid a' Ghàidhlig a riochdachadh aig tachartasan den leithid agus nach sinn a tha a' dèanamh fiughair ri ar cànan, ceòl agus cultar a thaisbeanadh ann.

It's a real honour to be invited to perform at this special event, marking 25 years since The Scottish Parliament was reconvened. It's so important to have Gaelic represented in these type of events, and we look forward to showcasing our wonderful language, music and culture.

Abair tlacht bùth-obrach a chumail mar phàirt de Sheachdain na Gàidhlig leis a’ bhan-ghaisgeach i fhèin Sìleas Nic na Ceàrdaich. Bha ceòl gàire am pàilteas, le cèilidh bheag aig deireadh an latha cuideachd. Ar taing chridheil do Sheachdain na Gàidhlig airson na taice a leig leinn seo a chumail.

A better late than never recap of the fantastic day of music that we held last weekend as part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day singing & dancing, beginning with an inspiring workshop with choral superstar Sìleas Sinclair. We then held an informal community ceilidh that culminated in a work in progress showing of our new piece, and a deoch an dorais too. A huge thanks to (and Bòrd na Gàidhlig) for the support that made this possible.
