Calum Dòmhnallach

Tha e na oileanach aig Oilthigh Ghlaschu is e air a’ bhliadhna mu dheireadh aige a' dèanamh Gàidhlig. Is ann à Uibhist a Tuath a tha e agus e gus tilleadh an sin an dèidh dha crìochnachadh airson beagan dhan airgid a chosg e a chosnadh! Bha Calum air a dhòigh air cùl bàr ‘Gun Sgot’.

“B' e seo a’ chiad fiolmadh den t-seòrsa seo a rinn mi agus chòrd e gu mòr rium. Bha deagh fealla-dhà agam fhèin, Mairead, Coinneach agus Derek thairis air an t-sreath agus bha e math craic fhaighinn còmhla. Tha mi eòlach gu leòr air a bhith air taobh eile a’ bhàr, ach cha robh mi fada a’ cur eòlas air a bhith air a chùlaibh. Le bhith cho dèidheil air ceòl bha e math còmhlain eadar-dhealaichte a chluinntinn le gach prògram cuideachd.”

Calum MacDonald, who has been helping Derek run the ‘Gun Sgot’ pub quiz is studying Gaelic and on his final year at Glasgow University. Originally from North Uist, Calum plans to return to the island as soon as he graduates and begin earning back some of the money he has spent during his student days. He revelled in his busy time behind the bar on Gun Sgot.

“My first experience of studio presenting was very enjoyable. Throughout the filming, Mairead, Coinneach, Derek and I had a good laugh together. I’m quite well acquainted with the other side of the bar but I think I adapted fairly quickly to working behind it. I also love music, and was delighted to help host such a great range of genre and styles.”
