London’s Oldest Gaelic Choir Still Sings | Glasgow News
Description
Discover the oldest Gaelic choir in the world, Còisir Lunnainn, singing proudly from London’s Covent Garden since 1891—yes, London! Founded by William Gillies after Gaelic classes sparked a musical revolution, this choir blends native speakers and passionate learners, even appearing in film soundtracks. Now led by Fergus, who moved from Glasgow and rediscovered his heritage, they’ve weathered ups and downs to keep Gaelic alive—and are heading to this year’s Mòd in Glasgow with a grin, aiming for the most fun on stage.
