Thuit an Oidhche Oirnn

Donald Grant grew up immersed in traditional music, in a small village in the Highlands, and it was here that he realised his passion for gathering with others to share a love of music-making.  

Following a memorable performance during Celtic Connections 2024, Donald and friends join together with our musicians again, for an evening of friendship and shared experience, with traditional Gaelic and contemporary string music, including Donald’s own journey through the Scottish Highlands in Thuit an Oidhche Oirnn (The Night Overtook Us).
