WORKSHOPS...
Waulking Songs with Rena Gertz
Regular visitors to our Folk Festival will no doubt recognise Dr Rena Gertz.
Rena came to Scotland almost thirty years ago to complete a Master's Degree in Law. As a break from her studies, Rena joined a Gaelic Choir and fell in love with the music. So much so that, after completing her Degree, Rena re-enrolled at University to study Gaelic, to better enjoy the songs she now loved singing.
This year will be Rena's third time running this wonderful workshop, which teaches the historical and cultural importance of waulking songs through small group interactive sessions.
Last year Rena selected students from both afternoon sessions to perform a small impromptu set to open our evening concert.
As previously, Rena has decided to make these workshops free to attend. However, places are limited, so will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. If you would like to take part, don't delay - sign up today!
