Ceol as an Alban// Music from Scotland

Today We had a lecture about Music from Scotland
It was specificaly about Music from the Scotish 'Gallic'
speaking area of the Hebrides and Western Isles

We had two lecturers:- a young Scotish Singer
who spoke[and Sang] to Us in Scots 'Gallic'
- also a young Irish Woman who as well as
being a very accomplished Séan-Nós Singer
is also an excellant Muscition on the Harp !!!!


Ireland and Scotland have the same Gaelic Language
Yet Between the Two there are many differences in
the Pronunciation and Spelling of the Language
Today's lecture was given in both Irish and Scotish Gaelic

There is a Quality to the Music of Scotland !!!!
The Rythyms and Melodies of the Music
in Scotish Gaelic are Unique and Worth a Listen !!!!
