I ndiaidh an ratha a bhí ar an chéad “Gaeil Le Chéile”, imeacht níos luaithe i mbliana, tá áthas ar An Lòchran agus ar Chonradh na Gaeilge an dáta a fhógairt le haghaidh an dara heachtra, a bheidh ar siúl Dé Sathairn, 8ú Deireadh Fómhair, 2011.
Is é Gaels Le Chéile ceiliúradh ar chultúr Gaelach na hAlban agus na hÉireann i nGlaschú, ag tabhairt le chéile na pobail Albanach agus Éireannach sa chathair is mó in Albain.
Tionscadal idir Conradh na Gaeilge Glaschú agus An Lòchran, leanann Gaels Le Chéile ar an Satharn, 8ú Deireadh Fómhair lenár dTaigh Cèilidh / gCois Tine rialta, an uair seo leis an amhránaí clúiteach Maire Ní Choilm, ó Ghaoth Dobhair, Contae Dhún na nGall, agus ceoltóirí cumasacha eile as Éirinn agus Albain.
Is é seo an dara oíche sa tsraith a bheidh ar siúl in ionaid éagsúla ar fud na cathrach agus beidh sé arís a thabhairt pobail na Gàidhlig agus pobail na Gaeilge le chéile trí mheán teanga, ceoil, amhránaíochta agus damhsa sna míonna amach romhainn.
Dúirt Duncan MacNeil, Bainisteoir Forbartha ag An Lòchran: “Táimid ag súil go mór leis an dara heachtra Gaels le Chéile agus ag tógáil ar an rath a bhí ar an chéad ceann. Tá áthas orm go bhfuil Maire Ni Choilm in ann a bheith linn ar an 8ú Deireadh Fómhair agus mar sin de is cinnte go mbeidh atmaisféar iontach ann ag an Taigh Cèilidh / Cois Tine, an uair seo ar siúl ag Cumann Ollscoil Ghlaschú in iarthar na cathrach. Tá mé ag tnúth le sibh a fheiceáil ar an lá agus ar an oíche “.
Is é Colmcille – clár comhpháirtíochta a chuireann chun cinn comhoidhreacht teangeolaíochta agus cultúrtha na hÉireann agus na hAlban – an comhpháirtí is mó le haghaidh maoiniú ar an tsraith imeachtaí a bheidh ar siúl go dtí an samhradh seo chugainn.
Cothaíonn Colmcille tuiscint ar an taithí agus ar an chultúr éagsúil ag pobail Gaelach na hÉireann agus na hAlban, chomh maith le díospóireacht a spreagadh ar cheisteanna coitianta maidir le cursaí sóisialta, cultúrtha agus eacnamaíocha d’fhonn féinmhuinín a thógáil i measc na bpobal teanga Gaelach.
Dúirt Bainisteoir Roinn Úsáid Teanga Bòrd na Gàidhlig, David Boag, go raibh áthas orthu tacaíocht a thabhairt don tionscnamh seo. “Tá Glaschú ina bhaile do na mílte Gaeil ó Albain agus ó Éirinn le roinnt mhaith blianta anuas agus leiríonn an ócáid seo a thuilleadh ár gcomhoidhreacht Ghaelach beo.
Bíonn Bòrd na Gàidhlig, i gcomhpháirtíocht lenár gcomhghleacaithe Gaeilge, Foras na Gaeilge, ag tacú le réimse leathan comhthionscadal ar an dá thaobh de Mhuir Éireann tríd an scéim Colmcille agus tugaim comhghairdeas ar An Lòchran agus ar Chonradh na Gaeilge Glaschú as a gcuid iarrachtaí comhoibritheacha chun an tionscnamh “Gaels le Chéile ” a chur i gcrích.”
Ag gach Gaels le Cheile, bíonn deis ann chun freastal ar ranganna teanga Gaidhlig agus Gaeilge ag leibhéil éagsúla,. An mhí seo, don chéad uair, beidh faill ann freisin chun triail a bhaint as do chuid scileanna amhránaíochta ag ceardlanna canta sa dá theanga. Beidh fáilte mhór roimh achan daoine a bhfuil súim acu sa dhá theanga.
Dúirt Evin Downey, Oifigeach Forbartha Chonradh na Gaeilge Glaschú: ” Tá áthas ar Chonradh na Gaeilge Glaschú an tionscadal seo a leanúint ar aghaidh leis An Lochran. Is áit ar leith é Glaschú toisc go bhfuil traidisiún Gaelach láidir beo ann i measc Gaeil na hAlban agus Gaeil na hÉireann araon agus is é cuspóir Ghaels le Chéile ná an comhthraidisiúin sin a cheiliúradh agus a neartú.

An Lòchran and Conradh na Gaeilge announce date for 2nd Gaels Le Cheile event.
Following the success of the initial “Gaels Le Cheile” event earlier this year, An Lòchran and Conradh na Gaeilge are delighted to announce the date for the 2nd event, to be held on Saturday 8th October 2011.
Gaels Le Cheile is a celebration of Scottish and Irish Gaelic culture in Glasgow, bringing together the Scottish and Irish communities in Scotland’s largest city.
A joint project between Conradh na Gaeilge and An Lòchran, Gaels Le Cheile continues on Saturday 8th October with our regular Taigh Cèilidh/Cois Tine, this time featuring renowned Gweedore, County Donegal, singer, Maire Ni Choilm and other talented musicians from both Ireland and Scotland.
This Cèilidh will be the second in a series to be held in various venues across the city and will once again bring together the Gàidhlig and Gaeilge communities through language, music, song and dance over the coming months.
Duncan MacNeil, Development Manager with An Lòchran said: “We are very much looking forward to our second Gaels Le Cheile event and building on the success of the first. I am delighted that Maire Ni Choilm is able to join us on the 8th October and will guarantee us a great atmosphere at our Taigh Cèilidh/Cois Tine, this time taking place at Glasgow University Union in the city’s west end. I look forward to seeing you on the day and at night”.
Colmcille – a partnership programme which promotes the shared linguistic and cultural heritage of Ireland and Scotland – is the main funding partner for the series of events which will run until next Summer. Colmcille fosters understanding of the diverse experience and culture of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic communities, as well as encouraging debate on common concerns in social, cultural and economic issues with a view to building self-confidence within the Gaelic language communities. Head of Language Usage at Bòrd na Gàidhlig, David Boag, said that they were pleased to be supporting this initiative. “Glasgow has been home to thousands of Gaels from Scotland and Ireland for many decades and this event further highlights our shared living Gaelic heritage. Bòrd na Gàidhlig in partnership with our Irish language colleagues Foras na Gaeilige, support a wide range of shared projects on both sides of the Irish sea through the Colmcille scheme and I congratulate An Lòchran and Conradh na Gaeilge Glaschú for their collaborative efforts in bringing the “Gaels le Cheile” initiative to fruition.
On each Taigh Cèilidh/Cois Tine day, there is the opportunity to attend Gaelic and Gaeilge language classes at various levels and also to try out your singing skills with the introduction of singing workshops in both languages. Anyone who has an interest in both languages is very welcome to attend.
Evin Downey, Development Officer for Conradh na Gaeilge Glaschú (the Gaelic League Glasgow), said: “Conradh na Gaeilge is delighted to continue this project with An Lochran. Glasgow is a unique place in that it has a strong tradition of both Scottish and Irish Gaelic culture and Gaels le Chèile is all about celebrating and strengthening those linked traditions”.
An Lòchran and Conradh na Gaeilge are very grateful for the support of Colmcille, who have funded Gaels Le Cheile.
