100 oran/100 songs
This project can be found on the blog.
The idea is for me to sing 100 different Gaelic songs by Christmas. Nothing fancy or polished just me and my computer but I will be be singing them from memory (even if I only remember the words for that day)

Fireside stories, Gaelic language and shared history:
Performances of Gaelic song and storytelling, Gaelic language workshops and presentations on the history of Gaelic in Colorado, Midwest, and NewEngland
What is this project?
There are two parts to this project . Part one is performances of Gaelic song and storytelling, Gaelic language workshops and presentations about Scottish Gaelic. The other part is talking to people along the way and letting people know that Scottish Gaelic exists, that it is a living language and that they could learn it, for this part I will also be trying to get to as many Highland Games/Celtic festivals as I can en route.
Where this will happen;
Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Vermont, Main
Long have the captivating Gaelic tales full of heroes, monsters, magic an a glimpse in to the ancient past fascinated and enthralled me. The haunting songs lift my heart and the language speaks to my soul.
These stories, songs and words have been heard for thousands of years and even now create a living link to history as well as playing a part in the modern world.
With only around 1% of the population of Scotland still speaking Gaelic and a small community of speakers in Nova Scotia, this language and its culture are on the endangered list. Raising awareness and knowledge of Gaelic is important.
