Arabmariner said:Kevrenor, Ive noticed your liking for Celtic music and wondered if you'd ever heard this band.Called Runrig and originated on the Isle of Skye,about 30% of their songs are in Gaelic.As far as I know they have never released an album in Australia and are virtually unknown outside of Scotland apart from pockets of northern England,Denmark and Germany.This clip is from the late 80's which many people consider to be the beginning of their heyday although they are still going strong albeit with another singer.Turn it up and enjoy!!
Will do, and their web site looks quite informative.
Mainly I like any Celtic music, with Cornish and Breton (eg. Alan Stivell, bombardes) the tops due to my ancestry, and I can understand a little Cornish. With Scots Gaelic Capercaillie are quite good. I hear quite a bit of all sorts around Celtic festivals in Australia.
