  • A beautiful song for a beautiful women that's my great gran .

  • Absolutely beautiful..! Let us have some more of her songs and your video is great...! Where did you find those pics..?

  • iontach ar fad gan amhras

  • Breatha agus boidheach.amen

  • simply great

  • this song makes this scottsman cry! simply beatifull 

  • nicely done....

    

  • lovely, but to be fair the original poem was a lament... when you listen to the lyrics that becomes clear... a more sombre tone would've been more aproppriate

  • @ejr161 It's not exactly an upbeat version is it?

  • Great singing .....air differs from Calum Kennedy version .....older??

  • This woman has one of the most beautifully expressive voices I've ever heard. Gives me chills up and down my spine.

  • White Swan...I had a privilege to live over there for a wee while few years back...Na Hearadh

  • Gorgeous. But then it is Julie Fowlis; what did I expect?

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

  • A ruin, ged gheibhinn bas-

    Co am fear am measg an t-sluaigh

    A mhaireas buan gu brath?

    Chan eil sinn uile ach air chuairt

    faclan troma math fìora

  • Just iTuned "Dual", excellent! *****

  • Thank you! Love both Julie Fowlis and Hugh Matheson - will keep my eye open for DUAL!

  • The white swan, am eala bhan, I think both melodies are are excellent!!! no matters who is singing it, be it Julie Fowles, Donnie Munro Mairi McInnes, Capercaillie, the story behind it is haunting and heartwrenching.

  • Excellent

  • Is there any text? I'd love to sing with her

  • Thank You so much for posting, This song was written for my great - grandmother (Margaret Mac Leod) and Im always looking for various recordings of it for my gran.

  • This is superb! Actually the way/tune it was written to be sung, although Tom Sloss sang the version we know and love like no one else, , RIP, lets enjoy it co-dhiu

  • I am afraid I must disagree. I have heard Calumn Kennedy,Hugh Matheson etc. I have never heard the song sung to this tune.But as you say lets enjoy it anyway.

  • I am afraid her interpritation of the tune does not do the song justice.Listen to Tom Sloss.

  • Hugh Matheson's is haunting, I will put it up when I can.

  • We look forward to that.

  • Beautiful! Is this on any of her CDs?

  • This song can be heard on the album 'dual'. This album is a collaboration of Scottish and Irish music, looking at the strong links between the two traditions. Julie sings on this album along side the Irish singer Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, they are joined by Eamonn Doorley and Ross Martin. Great album!

  • Great, thanks! I was planning on getting that album anyways (just got into Julie a few weeks ago and got her other 2 albums) so I'll definitely pick it up ASAP.
