A while back I contributed a blog in regard to Gaelic in Nova Scotia schools.

Some number of months later, I can now comment directly to the activities which took place as well as the degree of Gaelic language instruction that took place in one specific Core Gaelic Program in Nova Scotia.  I am referring to the Core Gaelic program which was offered at Sgoil Mhic Fhraing a Chaolais this past school year and the success it celebrates today during the closing month of the school year, June, 2011.

“Gaelic Mouth Music”. Here in Cape Breton, we are not afforded the luxury of hearing a lot of this type of musical expression in the Gaelic language. It is yet another dimension of song and dance that demonstrates a very fun, lively expression of a very real Gaelic culture.
