•The finale of the Ceòlas concert at Celtic Connections in 2012

Ceòlas has come far from a week-long traditional music and arts summer school on South Uist to a full-time Gaelic organisation celebrating and sharing our language, music, dance and culture. With a star-studded lineup of seven pipers and many more musicians, Ceòlas begins celebrating its 30th year culminating in the opening of the second phase in 2026 of their space for learning, arts and events, Cnoc Soilleir, on South Uist.

The concert takes place in the City Halls, 8pm, on February 1 and tickets are available here.

The seven pipers involved include Alana MacInnes, Ailean Dòmhnullach, Angus MacKenzie, Fin Moore, Iain MacDonald, Kenneth MacKenzie and Seonaidh MacIntyre. The musicians include Allan Henderson, Innes White, Pàdruig Morrison, Shona Masson, Euan Burton, Natalie MacMaster, Donnell Leahy, Ingrid Henderson and Iain MacFarlane.
