Bàird Bhaile: Gaelic Poetry and Song Night
Round out the festival with an evening of Gaelic poetry and songs, brought together by Jeni Flannigan (of Bothan Dhùn Èideann and Lusan Buì) and hosted by Niall O’ Gallagher. Come with us and immerse yourself in the witty, soulful world of the ‘local bards’, past and present. You’ll be in good company: Josie Duncan, Iona Mairead Davidson & Calum ‘singing weatherman’ MacColla, alongside other established and emerging voices from the wider Bothan Dhùn Èideann community.

Pink Witch, with the 12
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join the 12 collective for a showcase of Pink Witch, a visceral, wry and ever surprising anthology responding to the 2023 Barbie movie and the Witches of Scotland campaign – which seeks historic justice for the people executed for witchcraft in Scotland. Intimate and eclectic, these are poems which question identity, vilification and the names historically used to constrain women.
