Màiri talks to Gordon Wells in English and Gaelic about the local group “Na h-Eileanaich”.
She describes how they all met as youngsters through the local music summer school in South Uist, Fèis Tìr a’ Mhurain, progressing on to playing at the Hebridean Celtic Festival in Stornoway, and then to recording their own EP as well as featuring as the regular House Band at the monthly Taigh Ciùil at Taigh Chearsabhagh in North Uist.
Listen to the interview here, with a taste of Màiri’s guitar skills thrown in for good measure:
Here’s a YouTube slideshow the band put together with some of their foot-tapping music.
