About MePrivate view invitation to an exhibition opening at Art ™ which took place on January 24 1998 from 6 till 8pm, and celebrated Alexander Carmichael's Gadelica. The opening included a ceilidh with poetry from "Carmichael's Book" and songs from Flora McNeil & The Black Isle Choir. The invitation also advertises the book of poetry titled "Carmichaels's Book" related to the exhibition. The book was available in a hardback copy for £10. The poem "Twenty Blessings" by Thomas A. Clark is printed on the front cover of the invitation.
