Episode 5 of 7

Cuairt-chiùil shònraichte le Anna Latharna NicGillìosa a' comharrachadh beatha iongantach. Anne Lorne Gillies goes on a musical journey to her past, revealing a remarkable story.

Tha Anna Latharna NicGillìosa air duaisean a chosnadh airson a sgilean ciùil is seinn, ach is iomadh tàlant eile a tha aice air nach eil a' mhòr-shluagh cho eòlach. Fhuair i trèanadh clasaigeach mar sheinneadair, tha i air prògraman telebhisein a lìbhrigeadh agus tha i air seasamh airson na Pàrlamaid. A-bharrachd air an sin tha i na sgoilear, na dealbhadair agus na neach-dèanadais. Tha i air prògraman telebhisein a riochdachadh, agus air leabhraichean is dealbhan-chluich ioma-mheadhan a sgrìobhadh. Ann an 2005, chruthaich i an obair choileanta, "Songs of Scotland," mu cheòl Gàidhlig, agus tha fèill mhòr oirre mar sgrìobhaiche agus mar sheinneadair chun an là an-diugh. Anns a' phrògram seo, agus an lùib pìosan ciùil a chaidh a chlàradh aig Celtic Connections,
thèid an craoladair Iain Mac'illeMhìcheil agus Anna air cuairt-chiùil shònraichte a' comharrachadh stòiridh agus beatha iongantach.
