Taigh Ciùil is a series of live music nights hosted by Taigh Chearsabhagh, with the best traditional musicians and a licensed bar. Taigh Chearsabhagh is delighted to announce that we have locally grown Uist talent on the stage for the 10th of June with Pàdruig Morrison, Chloe Steele, Sheena Peteranna as well as some special guests to be announced on the night. We hope you can come along for what promises to be a brilliant night of music with these talented musicians.
Booking your ticket ahead is recommended, which you can purchase below. A small number of tickets will be available on the door, but with strict capacity limits, we cannot guarantee availability. We’ll gather this time at the spacious Lochmaddy Community Hall, for 7.30pm with an interval half way through the evening.
