Fergie, The Ceilidh King

Program a tha a’ dèanamh luaidh air am fear-ciùil Fergie Dòmhnallach à Loch Abar a chaochail na bu thràithe am-bliadhna. Lìon e tallaichean-baile air feadh Alba le daoine ga ghabhail fhèin agus a stoidhle ciùil rin cridheachan. Agus ge bith càit am biodh Fergie, bhiodh seanchas agus craic am pailteas! Bha tuigse air leth aige air a’ cheangal a bha eadar daoine agus ceòl agus, leis an tuigse sin agus a sgil fhèin, bha na puirt aige tarraingeach do dh’iomadh ginealach airson 60 bliadhna. B’ e an Ceilidh King, fear-ciùil air an robh meas aig daoine fad is farsaing agus gheibh sinn sealladh air an duine fhèin bho theaghlach, a charaidean agus bho luchd-ciùil eile a bha eòlach air.

A tribute to Lochaber musician Fergie MacDonald who died in 2024. Fergie filled halls and captured hearts across Scotland with his distinctive West Coast musical style, as well as his infectious sense of humour. With a unique understanding of how people connect with music, he sustained a 60-year career and his popularity spanned generations. We hear from musicians, friends and family about what made the Ceilidh King one of Scotland’s most loved musicians.
