Rob MacNeacail embarks on a road trip across Scotland and Ireland to explore the tradition of Gaelic psalm singing. An entertaining and heart-warming film about the power of community, family and the resilience needed to keep a language alive.
‘‘Dhòmhsa, chan eil càil ann coltach ri comhairsneachd tighinn còmhla ‘s a co-roinn an cuid faireachdainnean tro sheinn’’
For me, there’s nothing like a community coming together and sharing their feelings through song.

“The finest music, is the music of what happens”
‘‘An ceòl as fheàrr an ceòl na thachras’’

“This film is a collaboration. Gaelic psalm singing is at the heart of it but we follow lines that connect the entire breadth of the Gaelic world, ignoring the artificial constructs and rigid identities imposed by colonialism and national boundaries. It has a spontaneous serendipity at its heart, a road trip inspired by musical sessions and poems. A story about legacy, nurture and community.”
‘‘Nam bheachdsa, bidh sinn seinn na sailm anns an dòigh a bhios geòidh a sgiathadh tron adhar..."
In my view, we sing the psalms
in the way geese fly through the air
