Fred MacAulay

Fred MacAmhlaigh (1925-2003) à Sollas, fear aig an robh buaidh mhòr air craoladh Gàidhlig agus a rinn barrachd air duine sam bith eile gus a’ leudachadh ann an caochladh dhòighean. Cha do thuigear cho cudromach `s a bha a bhàrdachd gus an do chaochail e. Ged is e nua-bhàrdachd a tha anns a’ chuid as motha tha e fior-bhunaichte ann an cultar tradaiseanta Uibhist a Tuath air an robh e cho miosail. Coimhead suas Fear do Mhuinntir Sholais (Acair 2021) Fred Macaulay (1925-2003) from Sollas was an enormously influential figure who did more than anyone to broaden the output and variety of Gaelic broadcasting. The importance of his poetry was only realised after his death. Most of his work is in a modern idiom but it is genuinely rooted in the traditional culture of the North Uist he loved so much.
