'S ì aoigh na seachdain sa Karen Elder à Barraigh a tha an-diugh a' fuireach ann an Inbhir Nis. Karen Elder from Barra, now living and working in Inverness, joins John Carmichael.

Dà uair a thìde de shàr cheòl is còmhradh cuide ri Iain Mac 'ille Mhìcheil, a' craoladh beò à stiùidio a' BhBC ann an Glaschu. Còmhla ri Iain an t-seachdain sa tha Karen Elder à Barraigh agus tha a-nis ag obair ann an seòmar-naidheachd a' BhBC ann an Inbhir Nis.
Bha ì aig Oilthigh Shrath Chluaidh a' dèanamh ceum ann a Forensic Chemistry ach cha do chòrd sin rithe agus dh'fhàg i as dèidh dà bhliadhna. Thug i an uairsin bliadhna a-mach 's bha i ag obair ann am bùth ann an Glaschu, mus deach i dhan t-Sabhal Mhòr gus Dioplòma a dhèanamh anns na Meadhanan Gàidhlig. 'S ann an seòmar-naidheachd a' BhBC a rinn ì a greis-gnìomhachais air an dàrna bliadhna agus tha ì a-nis ag obair làn ùine còmhla riutha. Tha ùidh mhòr aig Karen ann an òrain Ghàidhlig, 's bidh ì a' seinn, a' cluich na clàrsaich agus a' phìob-mhòr. Cuideachd tha ùidh aice anns an deoch gin agus I dèidheil air an iomadh diofar seòrsa a tha ri fhaighinn sa latha a th'ann. 'S toil leatha cuideachd a bhith a' ruith. A thuilleadh air na sgeulachdan aig Karen cluinnidh sinn ceithir de na taghaidhean ciùil pearsanta aice fhèin. Mar is àbhaist cuideachd tha measgachadh math de cheòl is òrain air an taghadh le Iain a' toirt a-steach cuid de na guthan 'country' is fheàrr a th'ann.
On this week's show, the guest is Karen Elder who hails from Barra and currently works as a journalist at the Â鶹Éç in Inverness.
