Julie Fowlis

Event information

“Enchanting, beguiling and as fascinating as songs by Kate Bush and Björk” - Mark Radcliffe
“Formidable and amazingly rhythmic" - KT Tunstall
The elfin figure they are describing is Julie Fowlis, a talented singer and instrumentalist from Scotland. She was the BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year in 2008 and in a few short years has taken the music scene by storm, gathering a small army of fans around the world.
In 2007 she appeared on Later...with Jools Holland and was a special guest on the critically acclaimed Transatlantic Sessions.
However, she is somewhat of an enigma as she sings in Scottish Gaelic, a language only understood by around 60,000 people - approximately 1% of the population of Scotland. She is an accomplished musician as well - playing Highland bagpipes, small pipes, whistles, oboe and cor anglais.
This is true Gaelic music. Come have a listen.
