Music | Gaelic vocalists
Four generations of Scotland's finest Gaelic singers were brought together for the Seachd soundtrack. Caitlin NicAonghais (Kathleen Macinnes) from Uist was named top Gaelic singer at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards 2006 whose unique vocal colour and ability to breathe dramatic life into her songs makes her perhaps the greatest discovery in Gaelic vocal in years. Cairistiona Primrose (Christine Primrose), from the Isle of Lewis, is one of the great voices of traditional Gaelic song and has played a pivotal role in its revival across the past 25 years. Màiri Nic a Ghobhainn (Mary Smith) MBE, also from the Isle of Lewis, is one of Gaelic Scotland's most highly respected Gaelic singers and torch-bearers of traditional Gaelic song. Alasdair Codona is one of the world's foremost authorities on Gaelic harmony. Allan Macdonald of Glenuig, whilst being one of Scotland's leading pipers, is also the owner of stunningly deep and ancient-sounding Gaelic voice. Their voices are joined by those of our local cast, Angus Peter Campbell, Lachlainn Moireasdan (aged 83) from Uist and Winnie Brook Young (aged 12) from Skye.
