Chithear liosta iomlan de na daoine ainmichte airson duais gu h-ìseal.
’S e amas Hands Up for Trad ceòl traidiseanta Albannach a bhrosnachadh do luchd-ciùil, luchd-èisteachd agus com-pàirtichean air feadh Alba agus nas fharsaing tro fhoghlam, fiosrachadh agus coiteachadh.
Thuirt Simon Thoumire, a stèidhich an tachartas, agus a tha ga chur air adhart: “Meal a naidheachd dha-rìribh orrasan a th’ air a’ gheàrr-liosta – tha sinn air ghoil gus fàilte a chuir orra a Phàislig airson cuirm nan duaisean. Tha sinn airson taing mhòr a thoirt dhan a h-uile duine a chuir bhòt a-steach – co-dhùnadh nach robh furasta a ruighinn leis na tha de thàlant air leth ann an Alba. Tha Hands Up for Trads dìlseach ann a bhith a’ taisbeanadh an ìre de thàlant san dùthaich, agus tha na duaisean nan seud ann am bliadhna ceòl traidiseanta. Tha sinn air bhioran airson oidhche làn ceòl beò Disathairne 2 Dùbhlachd – dèanaibh cinnteach gum bi sibh an sàs!”
Thuirt Murchadh MacSuain, Manaidsear Conaltraidh MG ALBA, a bhios a’ toirt sponsaireachd dhan tachartas: “Tha Duaisean Ceòl Traidiseanta Albannach MG ALBA a’ taisbeanadh sàr thàlant ciùil Albannach. Tha sinne aig MG ALBA air leth moiteil a bhith a’ cur taic ri sin agus cho toilichte gu bheil tàlant Alba a’ faighinn ùrlar iomchaidh air BBC ALBA”.
Thuirt Jean Chamshron, a bha an urra ri tagradh Phàislig 2020: “Tha sinn air leth toilichte a bhith a’ cur fàilte air Duaisean Ceòl Traidiseanta Albannach MG ALBA a Phàislig airson a’ chiad uair agus tha sinn cinnteach gum bi oidhche air leth ann.
Tha ceangalaichean làidir aig a’ bhaile mu thràth le ceòl traidiseanta Albannach – tha grunnan de na còmhlain air cluich aig Fèis Spree san Dàmhair agus tha sinn air faighinn a-mach gun cuir Pàislig fàilte air ais chun Mhòid ann an 2021 no 2022.
Cha b’ urrainn do oidhche nan duaisean san Dùbhlachd a thighinn aig àm na b’ fheàrr dhuinne – le dùil gu faigh sinn a-mach an robh sinn soirbheachail ann a bhith a’ faighinn urram UK City of Culture 2021 nas fhaide air adhart sa mhìos sin. Tha sinn a’ cur meal a naidheachd orrasan air fad a fhuair air a’ gheàrr-liosta agus a’ coimhead air adhart ri fàilte a chuir orra a Phàislig.”
Thuirt Ailean Moireasdan, Ceannard Chiùil aig Alba Chruthachail: “Tha am bliadhna air a bhith sàr soirbheachail airson ceòl Traidiseanta Albannach, an dà chuid aig an taigh agus thall thairis. Tha cuid den tàlant as fheàrr a th’ againn, òg agus sean, air a bhith a’ frithealadh fhèisean agus a’ seinn air an rèidio – aig an aon àm agus a’ buannachadh dhuaisean agus a’ faighinn luchd-èisteachd ùr air feadh an àite – agus tha Alba Chruthachail a’ guidhe gach maith dhaibh uile”
