Linda NicLeòid (Macleod) is a musician, TV presenter, and educator. She’s originally from North Uist. Working with Comhairle nan Leabhraichean (the Gaelic Books Council), Linda delivers Gaelic-medium sessions for schools around the country.
When we asked Linda what she’s looking forward to in her visit to Islay, she told us, “Bidh e cho math clasaichean 1-7 fhaicinn a-rithist am bliadhna airson beagan Leugh is Seinn. Bha tòrr spòrs againn an-uiridh is bidh e math cluinntinn gu dè bhios a’ chlann a saoilsinn dhe na stòiridhean a bhios mi a’ leughadh dhaibh am bliadhna.”
“I’m so looking forward to visiting P1-7 again this year for some interactive reading and singing sessions. We had lots of fun last year and it will be great to hear what the children think of this year’s stories.”
Linda will form part of the Festival’s exciting schools programme, so unfortunately you aren’t able to buy tickets for these events! But look out for her on BBC Alba, and you can find out more about Leugh is Seinn le Linda here:
