‘Gu Deas’ Album Release

ByMairi MacMIllan

‘Gu Deas’ my album of Gàidhlig songs is available today.  I’m very excited to be releasing my first album, as this is a something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Recording of the album began in late July 2020.  Given the restrictions of the past year some of the editing and the mastering was done remotely.  I’ve very pleased with the final result and very thankful to have worked with such talented musicians along the way.  Have a listen to the songs and please let me know what you think.
