It was a great honour to provide tea, soup and sandwiches at Fairfield Heritage again this year for those attending memorial in Elder Park on Saturday, the Fairfield Boardroom was very fitting for the event as it was where the K13 inquest was held.

Serving submariners joined veterans last weekend to remember the lives lost in the tragic K13 maritime accident. [...]

Norrie MacIver & The Glasgow Barons: Cha Tig an Latha (The Day Will Not Come)(Ha Cheek-en Lah)

https://www.facebook.com/NorrieTagoMusic

Norrie McIver is one of Scotland’s most distinctive and compelling Gaelic voices — a singer whose sound carries both the warmth of tradition and the freshness of contemporary folk. Whether performing solo or as part of celebrated bands like Mànran, and until recently with Skipinnish, his voice remains instantly recognisable: rich, emotive, and effortlessly expressive.

Norrie has that rare ability to make Gaelic music accessible to everyone. Even if you’re hearing the language for the first time, his delivery pulls you straight into the heart of the story. His phrasing is crisp, his passion unmistakable, and his connection to the tradition feels completely authentic. There’s a soulfulness to his singing that makes every note feel lived-in and honest.

As a songwriter and performer, he moves easily between tender ballads, driving folk-rock, and classic ceilidh energy. Whether he’s raising the roof with a full band or standing alone with a guitar, he creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and powerful. His work speaks of place, heritage, and community — qualities that resonate deeply with audiences at home and abroad.

Norrie McIver isn’t just a fine Gaelic singer; he’s a modern ambassador for Scotland’s musical story, carrying its emotion, language, and spirit wherever he performs.
