A special programme of events to celebrate An Lanntair’s 40th anniversary year, highlighting some of our most loved music projects.
Our grateful thanks to all at An Lanntair for all their support of the festival.
These concerts are in addition to the arena programme and therefore if you wish to attend you will need a separate ticket to enjoy them.

BETWEEN ISLANDS
WEDNESDAY 16th July 19:30pm:
From its humble beginnings as an inter-island songwriting initiative, the Between Islands project has grown steadily with each airing, bringing together an ever-growing number of musicians from across the Western and Northern Isles in collaboration.
This year sees Hebridean artists Kathleen Macinnes, Alasdair White and Willie Campbell join forces with Shetland’s Ross Couper, Jenny Keldie and Arthur Nicolson in what promises to be yet another unique must-see line up.
“Between Islands is a glorious coming together of some of the finest contemporary voices and musicians from Scotland’s farthest reaches” Folking

DÀ FHICHEAD 
THURSDAY 17th JULY 19:30pm:
As An Lanntair’s 40th Anniversary year began we were delighted to be asked to mark the occasion by producing a show for the Celtic Connections festival.
Having wowed the Glasgow crowd with a programme of Gaelic songs and melodies from Lewis, we now are equally delighted to present Dà Fhichead to our home audience.
Those taking part are Calum Alex Macmillan, Ceitlin Lilidh, Norrie Maciver, Jane Hepburn Macmillan and Andy Yearley.
Tickets £22.50

HEBRIDEAN WOMEN
FRIDAY 18TH JULY 19:30pm
Showcasing the wealth of traditional female singers from the Hebrides, Hebridean Women was the first musical event to take place in our current premises in 2005, making it an ideal choice as part of our anniversary celebrations.
With each outing providing singers of all generations the opportunity to perform together – many of them for the first time ever - this year’s group comprises Anna Murray, Ceitlin Lilidh, Mischa Macpherson, Iona Mairead and Isobel Ann Martin, accompanied by pianist Andy Yearly. Not to be missed!
“The musical equivalent of seeing the northern lights.” Hebrides Writer

METAGAMA: AN ATLANTIC ODYSSEY 
SATURDAY 19th JULY 19:30pm:
On 21st April 1923 SS Metagama left Stornoway with over 300 young islanders on board, bound for Canada. Within a year nearly 1500 emigrants would leave the Outer Hebrides, but coming on the back of WWI and the Iolaire disaster, this mass emigration would have a devastating impact on the islands. As a result, these events retain a profoundly important place in folk memory to this day.
This multi-artform show was premiered in An Lanntair before touring throughout Scotland.
Devised by musician Liza Mullholland and writer Donald S Murray, they will be joined by actor and writer Dolina MacLennan, Gaelic singer and piper Calum Alex Macmillan, fiddler Charlie Mackerron, singer-songwriter Willie Campbell, and cellist Christine Hanson.
Tickets £22.50
Saturday Club tickets £8 (11pm to 1.45am) Should be purchased separately.
