My influences have been many and varied, but what influenced me most was the traditional, ornamental Gaelic singing I heard during my formative years in my native Lewis.
Christine has toured extensively in Northern America and Canada, Australia and Europe, conducting workshops, giving concerts and recitals. She also took part in the prestigious Smithsonian Folklife Music Festival in Washington USA, as part of 'Scotland at the Smithsonian', along with the renowned harp-player Alison Kinnaird.
Christine is currently teaching Gaelic song at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the Gaelic College on the Isle of Skye, and frequently gives Gaelic song presentations at the various conferences and events which are held at the college.
Best of luck with your nomination for Gaelic Singer of the Year. You really deserve to win after all your years of singing all over the world and teaching at SMO, Valley of the Moon and many, many, many other places worldwide.
Hi Christine, can't wait to catch up. Are you still coming over in January? Lumpen Prat - Lumpen Proletariat - I don't know what that means - it's something from Karl Marx is it? - I'm thinking that 'prat' is an abbreviation of 'proletariat' - it's just a theory at this stage though.
Hi Christine, taing airson na message. Thig ceilidh orm agus treatment gabhal ma tha thu i riamh ann an Glaschu is ma tha thu ag iarraidh. Chord na h-oran agad ruim fior mhath – tha guth agad mar a bha e riamh direach alainn. Ruthx
Thankyou for your kind words & for the friendship too. Even though I don't know any Gaelic, I love listening to it. Gaelic is a beautiful language & one day I'm going to learn. Heather our whistle player is the only Gaelic speaker in the band & she is teaching Malina & I a Gaelic song, which will take some time to learn. Fingers crossed. You have an angelic voice & I love it. All the best! Bonnie from RONA

Ciamar a tha rudan a' dol 'sa cholaisde?
Thanks for the add Christine! Taking your song course at Sabhal Mor Ostaig 10 years ago is still a memorable hightlight of my life's adventures. I just saw you in the BBC "Alba" clip that's just making the rounds of my friends now. It was great to see you standing on the shores of Skye....the best island on earth!
I CANT RECALL A TIME WHEN I DIDNT LOVE THE SOUND OF LADIES SINGING IN GAELIC,BUT YOUR VOICE IS ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE! Charlie Murnick, Minden,Louisiana
