Fèis an Eilein – the Skye Festival
Including the ‘Aos Dàna’ Book Festival
‘Aos Dàna’ The Skye Book Festival – just one book!
Saturday 12 to Saturday 26 July 2008
Awarded ‘Best Event in Highland 2007’
There are scores of book festivals around these shores with hundreds of authors and stacks of books. On the Isle of Skye they do things differently. Aos Dàna, the Book Festival in July is unique - it has only one author and one book. But this is not a minimal festival. In presenting the book, the festival organisers have brought together a wealth of poets and musicians,
The four-day event takes its inspiration from musicologist, poet, broadcaster and Skye crofter, Dr John Purser and his book ‘Scotland's Music. A History of the Traditional and Classical Music of Scotland from Early Time to the Present Day.’ This book was presented by the BBC in a 50-part radio series in 2007.
In a series of linked talks and concerts John Purser will talk about the distinctive music and literature that emerged as Scottish society evolved over the centuries, and which contributes to our sense of nationhood today. It starts with John playing bronze-age music in front of a bronze-age cave. It finishes in the 21st Century with Donnie Munro.
The opening concert, on Saturday 12 July, at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Skye's Gaelic College, introduces the music of Erik Chisholm, whose compositions were inspired by classical pipe-tunes and 18th century music from the Gaidhealtachd. These will be played by international pianist, Murray McLachlan, the renowned American Scottish fiddler Bonnie Rideout and piper Decker Forrest.
On Sunday after a Gaelic and English service in Kilmore Church featuring ‘Music of the Celtic Church’, with the participation of renowned piper Barnaby Brown and Strath Gaelic Choir, there is an illustrated concert of music related to Scotland’s landscape, from pre-history to the present day.
The next day, ‘Four Poets and a Cello’ highlight the resurgence of Gaelic poetry and literature. John provides a musical accompaniment to the poetry of Maoilios Caimbeul, along with Skye-based poets Meg Bateman and Aonghas Pàdraig Caimbeul, who translates his poetery into over 25 languages.
The evening session, ‘In Praise of Ben Doran’, reaches back to the 18th century and the the poet from that golden age Duncan Bàn MacIntyre. Renowned piper Allan MacDonald and singer and folklorist Margaret Bennett join John Purser for a concert and discussion.
The Book Festival finishes and the full Skye Festival, opens on Tuesday 15 July with an evening concert of contemporary Gaelic and Scottish music. This features Gaelic singer Christine Primrose and Donnie Munro, well-known from his Runrig days, alongside John Wallace, Principal of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, an international virtuoso trumpeter, and one of the greatest Scottish musicians of his generation.
The Skye Festival then continues to Saturday 26 July with a series of concerts and workshops.
