Capercaillie and Runrig are past favourites - but I have to be honest and say that I find Gaelic singing can get a bit, well, shall we say 'turgid' in tone?!
That's the trouble with us Lallans' speakers - no romanticism in wur sowells...
OK! I voted. Like maggie, I like them all . I voted, for my first love. They were so much a part, of my teen years, that hubby and I sang the unicorn song, to our babys. My kids sing it, to their babys. When the group was in a lower Michigan city, my son took his kids to the bar/pub, to see them. The group was so pleased, to see the kids (ages 8 &5, who were more than happy to join right in), that they stayed late talking to them. How could I not vote for such a nice group?
