Beschreibung

B' e seo an cothrom mòr. Air turas-ciùil anns na Stàitean agus tè òg bhòidheach ri a thaobh, bha Colman air a dhòigh glan. Cha robh càil a dhùil aige gum biodh e a' teicheadh bhon phoileis, ach a-nis cha robh e a' faicinn dòigh às. Touring the US with his band should have been a dream come true, but when guitarist Colman and bass player Seonag become separated from the rest of their band, they are drawn into a world of crime and violence and find themselves wanted by the police. Feur Buidhe an t-Samhraidh (Yellow Summer Grass) follows Colman and Seonag as they struggle to catch up with the band, forced into decisions that lead to greater danger at every turn as they travel through the vast landscapes of America's Mid West. Tim Armstrong takes his characters on a fast-paced, perilous adventure that explores love, ambition and identity

Fo Do Gheasaibh

The night before their indie rock band is due to travel to the States on tour, guitarist Colman and his friends are rehearsing. Lead singer Ruairidh argues with bass player Mìcheal, who storms out. Ruairidh is determined to go ahead with the tour, but Colman and the drummer, Fillean, can’t see how they can possibly tour without a bass player.

Is toil leam Mìcheal ach tha an duine truagh – chan urrainn dha am beus aige a chluich idir. Choimhead mi ris, a làmhan air chall air na teudan, gun fhios aige càit an robh sinn anns a’ phort. B’ e an oidhche ron turas a bh’ ann, agus cha robh Mìcheal faisg air eòlach air na h-òrain.
