Gaelic Punk band keeps ancient language alive on stage

BakkalapuloMay 2, 2012

Oi Polloi is the sole Scottish Gaelic punk band. All their songs are in Gaelic, a language spoken by only around 60,000 people today. Once spoken across the entire country, Gaelic was later suppressed, looked down upon, and finally usurped by standardized English. Oi Polloi have just brought out their second album in Gaelic and are touring Europe now.
