Welcome to this special edition of Sgeul is Seanchas highlighting a trilingual project centred on the songs and stories of the Fianna. For the past two years, TRACS have been working on this project with a group of leading storytellers, singers and musicians from Scotland and Ireland: Mhairi Hall, Mary MacMillan, Grainne Holland, Eamon Doorley and Martin MacIntyre.

Fiona MacDougall from TRACS discusses the background of the project with the group in an English language interview, then you will hear a draft version of a story the group created together called An t-Amadan Mòr/The Great Fool, which is in Scottish Gaelic and Irish.

An t-Amadan Mòr/The Great Fool was recorded at a residential week at Crear in Kilberry by Kevin Burleigh of Gorbal Sounds.

The project is supported by Bòrd na Gàidhlig through their Colmcille scheme, which fosters cultural links between Scotland and Ireland & TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland).
