Info    
  The Seedboat sails from Barra shore, young Donald’s gone to Newry
And though he swears a swift return, till then she’ll miss him dearly...
These lines are from a beautiful bitter-sweet love song that has inspired two musicians from either end of The Seedboat’s voyage to embark on an exciting new journey of music and song. The song is one of the great treasures of the Scottish Gaelic tradition and now, some two centuries after it first saw light of day, it sails again as Maggie MacInnes and Colum Sands invite you to find a seat amidst the cargo of clàrsach, guitar and a bi-lingual blend of songs old and new celebrating the musical bridges between Ireland and Scotland.
A new CD of the music from the show will be released in August on Colum's record label, Spring Records.
