Celtic Radio Hall of Fame To nominate a song for 2013, please
http://www.celticradio.net/php/service_mod.php?type=contact">
contact us with the details of your nomination. http://www.celtichearts.com/php/images//album_covers/az_B112610_Turas_Andrew%20McFayden.jpg" width="200" height="195">
McFayden, a Canadian born teacher began delving into his Scottish heritage in
his early twenties, learning to speak and most importantly sing in the Gaelic
language of his ancestors whilst attending Gaelic College in Cape Breton, Nova
Scotia. Andrew has been professionally singing since 2003 and acquired his
skills with the piano and recorder from The Royal Conservatory while still a
young man. As an adult Andrew who holds a Bachelor of Education, Master of Arts,
Graduate Diploma in Education, and a Master International Diploma for Spanish
Language Teaching; enriches the minds of his students teaching them Gaelic
language and songs. He also serves as the BC Regional Director for the Atlantic
Gaelic Academy. In addition to Gaelic, Andrew is also fluent in both French and
Spanish.
“Turas” is the fourth album to be released by the multi-talented McFayden. As
further testament to the humble, yet lively music of this album, “Turas” has
been selected “Album of the Year” right here on Celtic Radio. “Bean Phaidein”
the fourth track on the album, was also voted “Roots Traditional” Song of the
Year by our listeners. The album was recorded in Albaroom Studio in Prince
George, BC, Watercolour Music of Ardgour, Scotland, and Lakewind Sound.
The album title “Turas” can be translated to “trip” in Gaelic, and that is
exactly what the tracks within offer. A trip, an escape into the heart of
McFayden’s Scottish ancestors, and a window into the passion he has for his
heritage. 5 Gaelic Stars from Celtic Radio for a beautiful album of Gaelic Song
and Melody!
Congratulations to the 2012 Celtic Radio Album of Year award for Andrew
McFayden's "Turas". A Beautiful engraved Celtic Radio award is being
created by our local jeweler and will be mailed to Andrew McFayden with compliments from our many Celtic
Radio supporters that make this award possible! Slainte! - Celtic Radio Music
Awards Committee."
