Push the Boat Out: Gaelic Across the Atlantic

Catrìona NicÌomhair Parsons is a native Gaelic speaker who moved from Lewis to Cape Breton in the 1970s; Beth Freiden crossed the Atlantic in reverse, from the US to Scotland. Both of them now write in Gaelic. Tune in to hear them read and discuss ideas of home and place, language and identity with Peter Mackay. This event is fully in Gaelic and will not be translated into English. Sponsored by the Gaelic Book Council.

This event will both be available to at home audiences, who will be sent a link to join in advance, and screened as a remote event in the Red Lecture Theatre for people attending the rest of the festival in person who don’t want to miss out.
