Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk 200th anniversary service

The General Assembly Gaelic Service will be held at
Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk
on
SUNDAY 20th MAY 2012 at 12.30pm

This Service will be conducted by The Reverend Kenneth Macdonald of Glasgow.

The Moderator of the General Assembly will attend and will give the Benediction at the end of the Service.
It is intended to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the death of the famous Gaelic Bard, Duncan Ban Macintyre (Donnchadh Bàn Mac an t-Saoir) at the end of this Service. The Bard is buried in the Cemetery at Greyfriars.

An Invitation to this Service is given to the whole congregation and to any members and adherents of any other Church/Congregation.

It is hoped that the Gaelic Congregation will bring friends and acquaintances, especially from the Gaelic world, primarily to worship but also to welcome our honoured guests and to put Gaelic Ministry and Worship "on the map ".

Agile restrospective, the last 10 years

Here is a slideshare presentation I gave on 19th April 2012 at the Agile Westminster Conference. A ten year retrospective on agile on behalf of the BCS Agile Specialist Group of which I am a committee member.

The presentation immediately preceding was particularly interesting for me, given by Andrew Craddock, technical director of the DSDM Consortium. He spoke about DSDM Agile Project Framework for Scrum™. This is a brand new White Paper that describes how DSDM's Agile focus on project organisation, structure and governance complements the recognised team-focussed product delivery Agility of Scrum.

Fiere

Scottish Women: A 21^st Century Song Cycle

Fiere is a unique collaboration between Gaelic singer Joy Dunlop and Scottish fiddle and harp duo Twelfth Day exploring the lives, loves and experiences of women in Scotland.  Using poems by female Scottish writers, they create a collection of new songs in English, Gaelic and Scots, showcasing the creative output of Scottish women through fresh and innovative compositions.

Drawing from a mixture of Gaelic and English texts, Fiere (a Scots word for companion or friend) includes poetry from a wide range of writers including Jackie Kay, Liz Lochhead and Morag Montgomery.  The project also features a traditional Gaelic waulking song and a poem by Sheila McLeod especially commissioned for the project.

The project will be released as an album in March 2012 as part of a UK spring tour. 

Full tour dates are:

23^rd March 2012 – St Andrew’s in the Square, Glasgow

24^th March 2012 – Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh (13:30 start)

24^th March 2012 – Eastgate Theatre, Peebles

25^th March 2012 – The Reel, Kirkwall, Orkney

Mòd Gold Medalist Joy Dunlop was nominated as ‘Gaelic Singer of the Year’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2010 and 2011 and also won the Fatea ‘Tradition Award” in 2010. Her critically acclaimed solo album “Dùsgadh” (Awakening) won the ‘Roots Recording’ Awards at the 2011 Scots New Music Awards and in addition to regularly touring the UK, Ireland, Canada and New        Zealand, she is a frequent face in Gaelic broadcasting.  www.joydunlop.com

About Twelfth Day

Twelfth Day are at the forefront of innovative, modern British folk music.  With a fresh, open minded approach to song and tune writing, the duo create an entirely unique sound, interweaving masterful fiddle and harp playing with beautifully harmonised vocals in stylish and dynamic arrangements.  From opposite ends of Scotland, Orcadian Catriona Price (fiddle/vocals) and Esther Swift (harp/vocals) released their highly acclaimed debut album Northern Quarter in July 2010.  Twelfth Day have toured widely in the UK and Ireland and in 2009, their track 'Fare Thee well' was selected by Channel 4 to be used in a short film by the makers of the hit show Skins.  www.twelfthdaymusic.com
