Sailm nan Daoine (Psalms of the People) premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival in March 2026.
The film follows musician Rob MacNeacail as he shares his enthusiasm for Gaelic psalm singing on a road trip that takes him from his home in the Scottish Borders, to the Western Isles, Belfast and County Cork.
The screening was hosted by Cathy MacDonald and there was a lively discussion with Rob and director Jack Archer afterwards.
“A poignant tale of cultural heritage” - Screen Daily
“… a fascinating documentary, at once personal and political, uplifting and thought-provoking. You can’t ask for much more, really. And the singing, of which there is a lot, is absolutely fantastic.” - The Herald
“If this is a road trip, it is a trip through memory and identity, community and language.” - Bella Caledonia
You can also listen to Jack Archer and Rob MacNeacail introduce the film on Radio 4, starting at 11:25.
The film will be in cinemas later in the Spring
