Iain MacDonald, the College's Musician-in-Residence has recently launched his compilation CD, Ceòlmhor Ostaig.

The CD launch at the College compromised a showcase concert and cèilidh which included many of the artists featured on the CD such as Christine Primrose, Julie Fowlis, Brian O hEadhra, Angus Peter Campbell and Angus MacKenzie.
Iain
MacDonald speaking of the project said: "During my time as Musician-in-Residence
at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig I have had the pleasure of meeting, teaching and
playing with many fine musicians, singers, poets and others who have attended
and been part of the College over the last few years. I decided that some
of this talent should be heard and I hope that everyone will enjoy the selection
of music, song and poetry on the new CD."
