There's Gaelic in the fiddle and there's Gaelic in the pipes.

Julie Fowlis is wonderful! I'm a big fan of her music, Ailean. Thanks for sharing.

Here's some piurt a beul and stepdancing from this side of the pond to compliment the flavour you added. You'll recognize Margie Beaton from a previous thread.

That is a nice description of the state of the music Nathan. Thanks. I think that music is an oral expression and that it nearly always mimics the language of the players. I have thought that for years and I talk about the 'accent' of our music to others in my pipe band.

Very nice indeed. Here's one that ran up the charts in Canada a few years back:

One of the tunes is the same as the previous link I posted but this is a more produced rendition.
