Daniel Clifford 'Ciffie' Carter
|
|
|
Dh' fhuilig sinn call do sàr cheòladair on a chaochail Ciffie Carter air an t-seachdain seo chaidh. Na eòlaiche air an dà chuid an giotar agus an fhidheall, bha e riamh deònach taic a' cumail ris a' choimhearsnachd leis a chuid ceòl, is thug e buaidh mhòr air iomadh duine eile.
We suffered the loss of a great musician with Ciffie Carter's passing last week. On either guitar or fiddle, he was always willing to share his talents with the community and was held in high regard by many.
Dia bhi math dha.
