Dà uair a thìde de shàr cheòl is còmhradh còmhla ri Iain Mac 'ille Mhìcheil, a' craoladh beò à stiùdio a' BhBC ann an Glaschu. An t-seachdain-sa, bidh sinn a' cur fàilt' air Kathleen Reddy, a rugadh 's a thogadh ann an Ceap Breatainn. Fhad 's a bha i a' fas suas, bha fhios aice gum b' i a' Ghàidhlig cànan a dualchais, ged nach bitheadh i ga cluinntinn ach air an rèidio. Dh' ionnsaich i Gàidhlig aig Oilthig Phrainnseis Xavier, agus fhuair i teisteanas teagaisg Gàidhlig aig Colaiste Cnoc Iòrdain ann an Glaschu. Tha Kathleen air a bhith a' teagasg ann an sgoiltean air a' Ghàidhealtachd agus anns na h-Eileanan Siar. Chuir i seachad grunn bhliadhnaichean a' fuireach ann an coimhearsnachd an Uibhist a Deas. Ann an Alba Nuadh, tha Kathleen air a bhith a' teagasg chùrsaichean Gàidhlig do dh' inbhich agus ann an Colaiste na Gàidhlig ann an Ceap Breatainn. Bha i cuideachd ag obair mar oide Gàidhlig aig Oilthigh Phrainnseis Xavier fad trì bliadhna. Tha Kathleen dìreach air crìoch a chuir air ceum maighstireachd ann an Ceiltis agus Gàidhlig aig Oilthigh Ghlaschu agus tha i an-dràsta a' tòiseachadh air a PhD. 'Se ùrnaighean Gàidhlig ann an coimhearsnachdan Caitligeach, an cuspair rannsachaidh aice. Cluinnidh sinn seanchas Khathleen, agus ceithir de na roghainnean ciùil pearsanta aice. A bharrachd air a sin, bidh sàr mheasgachadh de cheòl air a thaghadh le Iain fhèin dhuinn, a' gabhail a-steach cuid de na guthan 'Country' is fheàrr a th'ann.

Since moving to Scotland she has taught Gaelic at various schools throughout the Highlands and Western Isles. She lived on South Uist for many years.
