The short audio clips of Gaelic pronunciation distributed on 284 of our tune pages are by Allan MacDonald. They reflect the South Uist pronunciation of his mother and the Moidart pronunciation of his father. The pronunciation of John MacInnes, on the other hand, reflects the North Uist pronunciation of his mother and south Skye pronunciation of his father.
This page lists all the longer audio interviews relating to Gaelic language aspects of pibroch that we have published on Musical Materials and its sister site, Learning Living Pibroch.
