'I had a lovely few days filming in September 2021 on South Uist with the wonderful Welsh Tenor Rhys Meirion. Rhys invited me as his guest to perform with him in Gaelic and in Welsh. His chosen song - 'Is Gaidheal Mi' - 'I am a Gael' as part of 'Canu Gyda Fy Arwr ' - 'Singing with my Hero' - ' Christmas Special 2021' Welsh TV programme.
Joining the performance of 'Is Gaidheal Mi' | Alan Henderson Piano | Chloe Steele Small Pipes | Anna Wendy Stevenson Fiddle
I co-wrote 'Is Gaidheal Mi' - 'I am a Gael' and recorded it on my 2nd album 'This feeling Inside' which was released on Greentrax in 1995. The title track was specially translated into Gaelic and Welsh for my performance and recording with Cor Meibion Llangwm | Llangwm Male Welsh Choir |' Ysbryd y Gael' | Sain Records 1997.
'Is Gaidheal Mi'
Cho proiseil is seimh
Mo chridh ri Dia is ri mo dhaoine
Riaslaichi mi anns an duibhre fhuar
Gus am bidh mi ann an tearmunn mo luchd duthca
I am a Gael so gentle and proud
I trust in God and my people
I will follow you 'til the mists of time
until we meet again in the land of my ancestors
