His own Gaelic was nurtured in the extended family and community, with the strong support of his English-speaking mother. An early interest in music was well supported through Uist schooling initially, and then intensively in Edinburgh, where he found additional impetus for his Gaelic through church and university circles. Following his father\u2019s death, he maintained close contact with his Grimsay home, to which he always intended to return.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"P\u00e0druig Moireasdan (1): St\u00f2ras Be\u00f2 nan G\u00e0idheal\" width=\"656\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/41HK5rfgqkQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A wordlinked transcript alongside the embedded video is available here: https:\/\/multidict.net\/cs\/9686<\/p>\n<p>In the second part, P\u00e0druig makes some comparisons between Irish and Scottish traditional music scenes, drawing on his experience of postgraduate study in Maynooth, where he noted a common preference in rural more \u201cG\u00e0idhealach\u201d areas for a steady swing in contrast with urban centres like Dublin or Glasgow. Now back home in Grimsay he is busy with his croft, in addition to pursuing a PhD. The maintenance of traditional crofting skills is important to him in times of heightened environmental awareness. He is also involved in debates around access to crofts and housing for young people, especially following Covid lockdowns. He is optimistic about developing the common interest of vernacular Gaels and learners in sustaining island communities.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"P\u00e0druig Moireasdan (2): St\u00f2ras Be\u00f2 nan G\u00e0idheal\" width=\"656\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ULYjB49MK0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A wordlinked transcript alongside the embedded video is available here: https:\/\/multidict.net\/cs\/9687<\/p>\n<p>Attentive listeners will have noticed occasional references to earlier films made in the Island Voices series, including some featuring a much younger P\u00e0druig, as well as his father!
