Sian and some of Scotland’s finest trad musicians perform at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. 

Cuirm à Talla Rìoghail Ghlaschu le Sian agus sàr luchd-ciùil traidiseanta na dùthcha. Sian and some of Scotland’s finest trad musicians perform at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

Prògram aithriseach ciùil air a fiolmadh ann an Talla Rìoghail Ghlaschu, mar phàirt de Celtic Connections 2022. Tha am prògram a’ foillseachadh co-obrachadh cruthachail eadar a’ chòmhlain Sian agus cuid den luchd-ciùil traidiseanta as fheàrr san dùthaich: nam measg, Euan Burton, Fiona NicAsgail agus Signy Jakobsdottir.

Le fòcas sònraichte air òrain a sgrìobh na bana-bhàird Ghàidhlig agus a' cleachdadh an co-sheinn ghrinn aca le sgioba ciùil nas motha, seallaidh an còmhlan cho comasach ’s a tha iad air neart is eireachdas òrain Ghàidhlig a thoirt fa chomhair an t-sluaigh. A bharrachd air dealbhan na cuirme bidh agallamhan anns a’ phrògram le buill a’ chòmhlain, agus bheir am fiolm aithriseach 30-mionaid seo sealladh den obair agus na co-dhunaidhean cruthachail air an deach an tachartas a stèidheachadh. 

Music documentary filmed from Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as part of Celtic Connections 2022. This programme explores the creative partnership between the Gaelic song group Sian and their enhanced line-up featuring some of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians: Euan Burton, Fiona MacAskill and Signy Jakobsdottir. 

With a set list focusing on songs by female Gaelic bards and using tight vocal harmonies with a larger band, the show demonstrates the group’s ability to showcase the strength and beauty of Gaelic song. 

Featuring concert footage of the collaboration as well as interviews with band members, this 30-minute musical documentary goes behind the scenes to see some of the work and creative decisions involved in staging the event.
