Up to the 17th Century the words ‘Eireannach’ and ‘Albanach’ were seldom, if ever, used. The inhabitants of Ireland and Scotland were called ‘Gaels’, one people with a common language, heritage and history. Due to a variety of religious, socio-political and economic developments this special relationship between the two counties almost disappeared. Our combined history, if not our very DNA, demands that we revisit and re-evaluate this special relationship. The Stirling-Galway Sessions can play an important role in this and will bring two great cities closer together. So we offer the heartiest of welcomes to the many musicians, singers, dancers and artists coming from Stirling to Galway.
