@Elynnewith2N I wish I was back there again Walking barefoot on the strand My two hands in my pockets And you by my side, Anne my love We were young and joyful Playing with happiness and laughter On the moor, on the loch And amongst the corn in the barn When the late afternoon came Bringing the cattle in from the hill Staying on our way back home Singing songs We were tired when night fell Drinking cold milk beside the warm fire With no desire to sleep And getting up early the next morning.
@praagyah Well they did! There's a video on YouTube of both of them singing along with Karen Matheson the song called "Maili Dhonn" (from the Transatlantic Sessions), posted by devonfolk.
@Rhubarabe Yes, you are correct. However, there were no videos of this performance back when i commented, and i did not have access to the Transatlantic Sessions Series 4, which is where the performance you link to, come from.
@Rhubarabe I am sorry, but i've never heard this song before. I've tried to search for it, using all the methods i know of, but i could not find anything. If you google "thesession", you'll find a website. There you can ask questions, and may be able to find the information you seek.
@praagyah Here's the answer: "A Mhàiri bhàn òg" or "Oran d'a cheile nuadh-poste", from The Gaelic songs of Duncan MacIntyre (1912). And here's another rendition of this song : watch?v=OMHUDLbjIho Enjoy!
"B'fhearr gu mi 'r ais a rithist" - bha duil agam riamh gu re e "B'fhearr gu mi air ais air Uibhist" a bha Runrig a seinn. A dh'aindheoin sin is e seo fear de na h-orain as fhearr a sgriobh Calum agus Ruaraidh . :-)
Holy smoke! wow, what a nice tenor! I've never heard of this fellow, but wow! He might be able to give Arthur Cormack a run for his money one of these days..."an appealing voice" is exactly right.

What an appealing voice this chap has- he carries the tune apparently effortlessly, and sings with a wonderfully 'velvety' tone. Plus, it's fantastic to hear young performers continue to sing in Gaelic!
I love this song and I LOVE THIS LANGUAGE!!! it's totally amazing!!

I've done some research online, and cannot find any music by Julie Fowlis and James Graham together. As such, it's impossible for me to help you.

You would not be alone in wishing for that to happen i think. :)
