PUPILS at Sandbank, Dunoon, Rockfield, Oban, and Strath of Appin primary schools enjoyed a performance of Fèisean nan Gàidheal’s new Gaelic language play ‘Seirm na Sìde’ when it toured Argyll last week. The play, for young children of nursery and lower primary age, has two characters in the play, Hùb and Hàb. They introduce features of the weather and the colours of the rainbow using Gaelic song and puppetry. The play features actors Megan MacLellan (Hùb) and Catriona Nicolson (Hàb).
Originally from Mallaig, Megan is well known as a presenter on BBC Alba’s children’s programme Dè a-nis?. Catriona Nicolson from Inverness, has acted in a number of Fèisean nan Gàidheal’s theatre productions for schools including the Gaelic pantomime Marsaili agus a’ Bhleideag Airgid (Marsaili and the Silver Snowflake).
