Talking to the "Aire air Sunnd" Wellbeing group, Paul McCallum, singer, tutor, Uist Gaelic choir leader and composer extraordinaire explores the notions of the spiritual and ’sacred’ in Uist. Their interconnectedness with the environment, local faiths and culture are central to both his thinking and his profound involvement with the music and song of the island. He sings one of his own compositions, epitomising all these inseparable links and explains how his background and that of other looked after children indicates the nurturing and welcoming an island community has given him.
