Cuirm Criosaidh Denny

Ceilidh mhòr à Talla Bhàgh a' Chaisteil a' comharrachadh Criosaidh Denny aig 80. A singing and dancing extravaganza from Castlebay Hall to celebrate Chrissie Denny's 80th birthday

Feasgar àlainn Foghair agus bha talla Bhàgh a’ Chaisteil luma-lan de mhuinntir an àite, càirdean, caraidean is luchd-eòlais ‘s iad air cruinneachadh còmhla airson urram a thoirt do shàr sheinneadair as an eilein aca fhèin a bha air aois sònraichte a’ ruighinn. Mar phàirt do dh’fhèis Bhlas 2019 chaidh cuirm sònraichte a chur air dòigh ann am Barraigh a’ comharrachadh gu bheil Criosaidh Mary neo Criosaidh Denny air aois an ceithir fichead a’ ruighinn…..agus abair gun d’fhuair I preusant, cothrom taghadh a’ dhèanamh do sheinneadairean is luchd ciùil a ghabhadh pàirt anns a chuirm aice. Agus bha sinne aig 鶹Լ Radio nan Gaidheal air leth toilichte cuairt a ghabhail a Bharraigh airson clàradh a’ dheanamh den oidhche. Abair oidhche gu dearbha, chan fhaca muinntir Bharraigh ceilidh dha leithid airson iomadach bliadhna.

A’ measg na seinneadairean is luchd ciùil a rinn an turas a Bharraigh agus a bha ri 'n cluinntinn air an oidhche bha na corragan sgileil aig Ailean Dòmhnallach air a phìob, na guthan seinn air leth aig Màiri Anna NicUalraig agus Alasdair MacIlleBhàin, agus bha an “Ceilidh King” e fhèin Fergie Dòmhnallach sa chomhlan a’ cumail ceol dannsa ris na bha làthair. Ann an eilean a tha làn tàlantan a thaobh seinn bha òrain rin cluinntinn bho Eàirdsidh MacIlleathain, Karen Elder, Calum Òg MacNèill agus gun dìochuimhn’ a’ dhèanamh air Coisir Ghàidhlig Bharraigh. A’ cumail smachd air an oidhche bha fear de bhalaich a bhaile aig Criosaidh fhèin, à Eòlaigearraidh Dòmhnall Manford.

On a beautiful Saturday evening in November the Barraich were out in full force as they came together in Castlebay Hall to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of Barra’s finest singers and tradition bearers, Chrissie Mary MacNeil (Chrissie Denny.) As part of this year’s Blas festival Chrissie Denny’s special birthday was celebrated with a host of singers and musicians chosen by Chrissie herself. From the skilful piping of Allan MacDonald; the talented singing voices of Maryann Kennedy and Alasdair Whyte ; the dancing fingers of Fergie MacDonald on the box; the talented voices of the locals of Còisir Bharraigh; along with Archie Maclean , Karen Elder and young Calum MacNeil, a fantastic night was held in Castlebay. From Chrissie's own village Donald Manford did the honourable duties of MC for the evening.
