Show Notes
Donnie Munro, former Runrig frontman, shares a surprising story from the bands early days on the Isle of Skye. Despite their popularity as a covers band, their first all-Gaelic concert faced backlash from locals. Munro explains the generational baggage and cultural shift that led to this reaction. However, as Runrig gained fame in the cities, attitudes changed, and their Gaelic focus became more accepted. Today, with improved Gaelic education and success stories like An t-Eilean, Munro sees a bright future for the language, both on Skye and globally.
