WITH three sell-outs and a number of other events very well attended, organisers of this year’s Blas Festival are buoyed following their first weekend.
But there is still plenty to take in before the festival ends this Saturday (September 10).
Having attracted a large crowd on Friday for a celebration of the 80th birthday of Uist cultural icon Rona Lightfoot, another stalwart of Gaelic culture, Skye’s Jonathan MacDonald, will be honoured at an event in his home turf in Kilmuir today (Thursday).
