Ailean Caimbeul ann an c貌mhradh le Anna Michie

Ailean Caimbeul: Buinidh an t猫 a tha air aoigheachd air pr貌gram na seachdain an seo bho th霉s dha baile beag na Gn矛opa faisg air R貌dhag san Eilean Sgitheanach, agus dha teaghlach a bha is a tha fhathast cli霉iteach ann an saoghal ci霉il is dualchas na G脿idhlig. B鈥� e Anna Chaimbeul a bh鈥� innte mun do ph貌s i, agus ri linn 补鈥� ph貌saidh, 鈥檚 e Anna Michie a th鈥� oirre a-nist鈥�.

Ach b鈥� e Anna Chaluim Sheumais, neo d矛reach Anna na Gn矛opa, a bh鈥� aig daoine oirre na h-貌ige. An-diugh 补鈥� fuireach ann an Inbhir Nis, dh鈥檌nns鈥� Anna dhomh mun 补鈥� chiad dannsa air a bheil cuimhne aice.

Anna Michie: A鈥� chiad danns鈥� a tha cuimhn鈥� agams鈥� air Ailean, tha mi 补鈥� creidsinn gun robh mi, gun robh mi ceithir bliadhn鈥� deug. Agus, bha an cogadh 补鈥� dol an uair sin. Agus, bhiodh iad 补鈥� cur dannsaichean air adhart airson airgead a thogail dha na saighdearan. Agus bha peathraichean m鈥� athair aig an taigh an turas seo, agus bha danns鈥� ann an Ceann an t-S脿ile. Bha talla beag ann a shin, is fhuair mi fh矛n is M脿iri mo phiuthar cead a dhol c貌mhla riutha. Agus am band a bh鈥� ann, 鈥檚 e bodach a bha 补鈥� fuireach faisg air an talla le melodeon, agus gu dearbh bha e math!

Ailean Caimbeul: Cha robh ce貌l ann ach am melodeon fh猫in, leis fh猫in?

Anna Michie: Cha robh s矛on ann ach am melodeon, agus bha e d矛reach air leth.

Ailean Caimbeul: Nise, bidh mi 补鈥� bruidhinn ri t貌rr dhaoine mun leithid seo Annag, agus bidh mi 补鈥� gabhail iongnadh as an t-saoghal anns a bheil sinn be貌 an-diugh, cha d猫an 肠貌尘丑濒补苍-肠颈霉颈濒 sgath gun amplifiers is speakers is gleadhraich is fuaim. Ciamar a bha daoine 补鈥� d猫anamh 补鈥� ch霉is, luchd-cluiche, chuimhne agad air ais an uair sin chun a - leithid an dannsa a bha sin ann an Ceann an t-S脿ile. An robh sibh 补鈥� cluinntinn 补鈥� chi霉il a dh鈥檃indeoin an t-shluagh 补鈥� dannsa?

Anna Michie: Bha. Cha robh leithid an rud le maic 补鈥� dol idir, idir, ach bha sinn 补鈥� cluinnteil 补鈥� chi霉il, agus bha an dannsa d矛reach m矛orbhaileach math. Chan fhaca mise dannsa ri, far an robh buidheann le microphones is a h-uile rud eile gus an d鈥� rinn mi a-nuas a Dh霉n 脠ideann.

Le Griogair Labhruidh

Griogair: Rugadh is thogadh mi ann an Gart 补鈥� Ch脿irn, Loch Laomainn, ach buinidh mo theaghlach do dh鈥橢arra-Gh脿idheal a Tuath do Bhaile Chaolais, agus tha buinteanas agam cuideachd le Sr貌n an t-S矛thein agus an sg矛re 脌ird nam Murchan.
Agus tha mi air 貌ran a thaghadh a chaidh a sgr矛obhadh anns an sg矛re sin le b脿rd s貌nraichte math air an robh D貌mhnall MacColla, 'F脿gail Cheann Ghe脿rrloch' an t-ainm a th鈥� air an 貌ran. Agus 鈥檚 e b脿rdachd s貌nraichte math a th鈥� ann. Anns an 貌ran, tha e 补鈥� bruidhinn air sealladh is air na f猫idh, is 补鈥� toirt seachad an gaol a th鈥� aige fh猫in air an 脿ite.

Agus tha an t-貌ran 补鈥� sealltainn na tha math mu dheidhinn b脿rdachd, gu s貌nraichte 脿 Earra Gh脿idheal a Tuath. Theirinn gur e duine s貌nraichte a bh鈥� ann an D貌mhnall MacColla le G脿idhlig dhomhainn, che貌lmh貌r, dhualchainnteach, n脿darra. B鈥� e D貌mhnall am b脿rd a bu chudromaiche a bha be貌 anns an fhicheadamh linn dh貌mhsa co-dhi霉.

Bha esan am measg na b脿ird mu dheireadh air t矛r-m貌r. Tha mi e貌lach air meall dhaoine anns an sg矛re agus cuimhn鈥� aca air D貌mhnall, agus tha mi 补鈥� smaoineachdainn gur e rud cudromach a tha sin oir tha e 补鈥� toirt dhut ceangal pearsanta leis 补鈥� bh脿rd.

Ged a rinn e meall 貌rain, theirinn gur e 'F脿gail Cheann Ghe脿rrloch' am fear as fhe脿rr dhomhsa co-dhi霉. Tha na facail a tha e ag 霉isneachadh anns an 貌ran f矛or l脿idir, agus tha fonn 脿raid air an 貌ran cuideachd.

Bhruidhinn iad air ais 鈥檚 air adhart, mar a bha dol do Mhargaidh nan Earrannan; mar a bha saoghal nam poilitigs agus d猫 bha tachairt ann an saoghal nan ealan agus mar sin air adhart.

鈥溾�橲 ann nas miosa tha na h-ealain 补鈥� dol,鈥� ars am Morair agus a lip 补鈥� tuiteam. 鈥淎m faca tu an claigeann uabhasach a bha siud le Damien Hirst?鈥�

鈥淐han fhaca,鈥� dh鈥檃idich Slim, 鈥渁ch tha mi e貌lach air cuid dhen ealain eile a rinn e, 补鈥� chaora ann 补鈥� formaldehyde agus an cearban cuideachd. Nach do chosg an cearban sia m矛le not? Chaidh breith air le iasgair proifeiseanta 脿 Astr脿ilia. 鈥楾he Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living鈥�, nach e sin an t-ainm a thug e air.鈥�

Bha dr猫in air 补鈥� Mhorair. 鈥淏y Jove, tha mi coma mun ainm, ach a bheil thu fh猫in 补鈥� smaoineachadh gur e ealain a th鈥� ann an sgudal mar siud?听 Dh鈥檉haodadh duine sam bith siud a dh猫anamh, beathach a chur ann a formaldehyde.鈥�

Dh鈥檉h脿s Slim m矛-fhoighidneach. 鈥淎ch bha thu dol a dh鈥檌nnse dhomh mun chlaigeann.鈥�

鈥淥, bha. An claigeann, air a dh猫anamh de phlatinum, air a ch貌mhdach le ochd m矛le, sia ceud agus aon daoimean 鈥檚 iad 补鈥� cosg mu ch貌ig millean deug not 鈥� nach eil sin m矛-chiatach?鈥�

Bha 补鈥� ch霉is 补鈥� t貌iseachadh 补鈥� c貌rdadh ri Slim. 鈥淐han eil an cn脿imh fh猫in ann, ach d矛reach am platinum.鈥�

鈥淭ha sin ceart,鈥� dh鈥檃ontaich am Morair. 鈥淐haidh a chumadh 鈥檚 a chruthachadh bho chlaigeann duine bhon ochdamh linn deug. Ach 猫ist ri seo, tha fiaclan an duine anns 补鈥� chlaigeann a tha sin; fiaclan m貌ra, geal, gr脿nda, agus am beul fosgailte ann an craos g脿ire agus na s霉ilean m貌r, dubh agus falamh. Tha mi 鈥檊 r脿dh riut, chuireadh e gaoir tromhad.鈥�
