Thig am bàta - Julie Fowlis

[kotor1974]

[hubble96]

semplicemente fantastica

[14Skyegirl]

One day I will be fluent gaelic:)

[ocomaing]

were the same language so who gives a hoot about the sineachadh fada

[ejr161]

Beautiful - this is exactly why I want to learn Gaelic... it's got a poetic quality to it that you just don't find in most languages.

[PolakInAKilt]

What kind of drums is she using? I'd assume bodhran but it'd have to be a really loose skin.

[animalunaris]

Yep, on the album cover it lists a bodhrán player for this song.

[ps200306]

Saw this live a couple of months back. It was bongos (or similar), not a bodhrán. Btw, I love this song and this vid never matches a YouTube search for Thig Am Bata ... 'cos of the wrong-way accent on the "a" in the title. Please make it more findable! :-)

[animalunaris]

The fada is definitely the right way! Standard Gaelic always uses the grave accent now, perhaps you're thinking of Irish which uses the acute accent (the accent pointing forwards)? This is the way it is printed on her album sleeve also.

@PolakInAKilt: sounds like a cajon, actually...

[IsCumaFut2]

scots gaelic very nice

[RunrigFan]

Love both styles, fast and slow. Love mouth music

[Donegal]

I like the first picture, which the title and author?

[animalunaris]

It's just from Google, I think maybe 'highland fisherwomen' or something like that was the search term.

[animalunaris]

I don't know, it's definitely my fave off the new album. I think it depends on if you're more into the slower ballads.

[BoyWithBlackWings07]

I like the slower ones, "Bothan" is amazing :)
