A Fèis Fhoirt spokesperson said: “This is a great opportunity for children aged 8 to 18 to have an immersive experience in music and culture. Participants can choose two classes from fiddle, guitar, accordion, clarsach, whistle, and band at various levels, as well as receive Gaelic song and language workshops.
