Westering Home (to Islay) - Norma Munro & Guests at the Islay Visitor Welcome Evening

It's much better when you're actually there, but if you can't be this video hopefully captures at least some of the atmosphere during Norma Munro's performance of the classic Westering Home during the Islay Visitor Welcome Evening on the 13th of April 2009.

It was a packed event and many of the guests as well as another musician (unfortunately I don't know his name) joined in. A moving experience.

Apologies for the video quality, it was fairly dark in the room.

Norma's voice is as crystal clear as the water around Islay. This is one of the first songs I heard as a child on the Island but this version is the best ever! :-D uncan

The purity of this lovely voice has a Joan Baez sound to it...and this lovely song reminds me of my late mother who had versions of it by both Moira Anderson (now there's a name from the past!) and Kenneth McKeller, and played both constantly...
