Upcoming Festivals / Fèisean a' Tighinn We are delighted to be playing at the Belfast International Arts Festival on Saturday 19th October at the wonderful Irish language centre Aras Mhic Reachtain.  Beidh an oíche againn!   On the 29th of October we play at one of our favourite venues, the Scottish Storytelling Centre, Edinburgh, where most of the amazing Scottish International Storytelling Festival takes place.  The name of our concert is: Stories Old and New Through Our Songs / Sgeulachdan seana is ùra tror n-òrain.   Concerts / Cuirmean ciùil We'll be playing at the Pier, Lairg, Sutherland as part of the fantastic Sutherland Sessions series on Saturday 16th November.  Fiona's people are from Sutherland and it is always a pleasure to play in this beautiful part of the Scottish Highlands.   New Album / Clàr Ùr We have finished recording and mixing our album TUATH - Songs of the Northlands.  It has been an inspirational journey working again with the multi-talented Mike Vass who has helped produce an album we are very proud of.  The album will be released on the Naxos World label in mid-January 2020 and we will have a public launch at the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow at the end of January.  We'll keep you updated... TÌR - Highland Life & Lore is also being re-released digitally on Naxos World label.   Well that's all from us for now.  Thanks for your interest in our work and please do get in touch if you would like to suggest a venue or festival for us to play near you.  Happy voting!
