In this film, Gaelic singer Joy Dunlop will take you through her own arrangement of the toe-tapping Gaelic song, ‘S ann an Ìle. This port à beul is accessible for both Gaelic and non-Gaelic speakers. Enjoy!

As an accompaniment to this film, we’ve provided the song lyrics with their English and phonetic translations, along with sheet music for the melody and harmony parts. There is also a piano accompaniment track arranged and recorded by Andrew Dunlop which you can listen to and sing along with once you’ve learned the song. You can read and download the lyrics and music, and listen to the piano track on the Guides page of this website. You can also listen to the piano track on our Vimeo or YouTube channels.
