Gaelic Singer

Last night we attended a concert in Seattle for Julie Fowlis from South Uist in the Hebrides Islands off the west coast of Scotland. She sings in Gaelic and is very easy on the eyes. You can see several clips of her on you tube, here is just one. AMAZING talent.



A talented singer and instrumentalist from Scotland, Julie Fowlis is the BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year 2008. In a few short years, she has gathered a small army of fans while touring around the world bringing ancient songs from the Hebridean Islands to new audiences. She is an accomplished musician as well - playing Highland bagpipes, smallpipes, whistles, oboe, cor anglais, and the one-row melodeon. Bringing centuries old songs from the windswept islands of the Hebrides to a modern audience, Julie remains steadfastly true to her roots

I am very early into my gaelic studies but it has me fascinated. It is such a beautiful language. Here are a couple of more clips from Youtube
