chunniac mi seo an-diugh air larach-linn aig an BBC:

"Am measg na bhios a' nochdadh air an àrd-ùrlar aig an fèis, tha ..."

My tra*****ion would be along the lines of " amongst those to be appearing on stage at the festival are ..."

Ach, a bheil sin ceart? Caite a bheil 'those' an-seo, no a bheil 'na bhios'= the expected? Chan eil mi cinnteach.

na is a relative pronoun. Or in other words, if it's not in front of a noun, tr*nsl*t* as that which/the one(s) which.

So in this case, the best tr*nsl*t**n is "those who"

Am measg - Among
na - those who
bhios - will be (relative form bhios/bhitheas)
a' nochdadh - appearing
etc.
