Eadarainn hook-up between Dingwall and Inverness Gaelic choirs set for festive showcase
THE collaboration of two historic Highland Gaelic choirs is bearing fruit and will be showcased at a number of events in the coming weeks and months.
This year’s Royal National Mod saw Dingwall and Inverness Gaelic Choirs join up to perform as Eadarainn (Between Us) with Ross Brindle (Dingwall) and Jamie Macgregor (Inverness) joint conductors.
The male voice won several trophies with its conductor Nina MacKellor of Nairn Gaelic Choir, emphasizing the supportive nature of the language and culture in the Highlands.
