1/3 Iain 'Tonkan' D貌mhnallach - ag 猫irigh suas 's a' falbh gu muir

Ag 猫irigh suas am Port nan Gi霉ran sa Rubha a Le貌dhas agus a' falbh gu muir. Singer John 'Tonkan' MacDonald tells of growing up in Point, Lewis and his early days at sea.

Tha Iain 'Tonkan' D貌mhnallach air a bhith seinn bhos cuimhne leis agus eadar Alba agus 脠irinn, aig farpaisean agus ceilidhean; an tallaichean, taighean-seinnse agus dachaighean-c霉ram; a' d猫anamh foinn agus ag ionnsachadh dhaoin' eile; G脿idhlig neo ce貌l- d霉thchail chan eil m貌ran air nach do dh'fheuch e. Ach chan eil a sin ach earrann dha bheatha - bha e aig muir agus air t矛r na obair-latha, bha e an luib togail Drochaid Khingston agus chunnaic e sgrios a' gh猫ile mh貌r an Glaschu ann a 1968.

Bho chionn c貌rr is d脿 fhichead bliadhna tha e gu math d貌igheil, air ais a' fuireach am b脿ile 脿raich am Port nan Gi霉ran an ceann sh矛os a Rubha a Le貌dhas. Cha robh 猫irigh suas gun 脿mhghair ge-ta, mar a chluinneas sinn, ach sa chiad earrann dhen ch貌mhradh aige le Annella Nicle貌id tha iad an toiseach a' dol beagan nas fhaide air ais ann an eachdraidh an teaghlaich aige mus tig iad gu bheatha fh猫in.
