Rona Lightfoot, a wonderful Gaelic singer, was brought up in one of the most culturally rich families in South Uist. Her mother Cèit Bean Eardsaidh Raghnaill gave the Gaelic speaking world one of the best archive collections of Gaelic songs, and from their father, Rona and her brother inherited then mantle of the famous Macdonald pipers of South Uist. Rona has been described as a ceilidh personified. She is a great piper, a hugely talented singer, and a veritable treasury of traditional Gaelic songs. What s more, Rona is a terrific raconteur with a great sense of humour and an infectious laugh. |
