We are celebrating the new edition of The Great Book of Gaelic with an entertainment explaining what it's all about: the connections and disconnections of Scottish-Irish history; how we are recuperating from that history; how epidemics of normality have been breaking out all over Gaelic and its poets; how a legion of artists shook everything up and made the most beautiful Gaelic book of our times.
The show is told in English and poemed in Gaelic - with translations - by two of our finest, liveliest, most interesting and approachable poets, Aonghas MacNeacail and Louis de Paoir.
