Music in the Celtic Church

Music in the Celtic Church

Saint Columba (7 December 521 - 9 June 597), is known as Columba of Iona, or Colm Cille, 'The Dove of the Church’. He was an outstanding figure among the Gaelic missionary monks who travelled east across the Irish Sea to introduce Christianity to the Kingdom of the Picts during the Early Medieval Period. It is said that in his travels Columba set foot in Sleat on the shore below Kilmore Church. Our Gaelic service today, led by Aonghas Pàdraig Caimbeul, will use texts, mediaeval chants and psalms relating to St Columba. Members of Strath Gaelic Choir are joined by Barnaby Brown on the ancient and rarely heard Triple pipes.
