You get the Gold Star for ancient compliments. Seriously though, I thought I was the only one who still said "Bee's Knees" my Irish grandma said it and passed it on to us, along with Catholic guilt and love of the Sacrament!
This is spellbinding - the Irish and Scottish music blend together so well. Hope both our languages survive - if they do it will be in no small part down to stuff like this.

To my joy recently learned that my paternal grandparents came from Spey valley, isle of Skye, Omg, and Argyll. My grandparents were born into Gaelic speaking families and had to learn English.
The children were forbidden to speak Gaelic at school under threat of corporal punishment leaving many to only speak the language at home. Older people who only had the Gaelic hid themselves from strangers in embarrassment fearful English would be spoken to them. The language only survives thanks to the music and poetry at the darkest times. The Scottish government doesn't do enough to protect our history and culture...... I could go on and on but my temper is being tested.
My grandparents were English-speaking and Irish Gaelic-speaking who emigrated to Philadelphia from Roscommon and Sligo, Ireland. They taught my dad and his sisters the Mass and the Rosary in Gaelic, but nothing else. They reasoned that if Catholicism is ever outlawed, their children could still practice the faith. Unfortunately, nothing in Gaelic was passed down to us grandchildren
I was 4 or 5 before I heard anybody speak english. Then I had to learn it at school. We werent allowed to speak gaelic and the teachers would mock or punish us if we did. it wasn't unusual for the other kids to gang up on, and make fun of or even beat somebody spoke if they spoke gaelic. The education system made speaking our native tongue something to be ashamed of, and that should never be forgiven.
You don't like the Irish lady Muireann eh! What I like is that both Julia and Muireann are culturally educated, and could even lead a rivival in the native languages of Scotland and Ireland, and help to make the countries bilingual like Holland for example.
Murieann Nic Amhlaoibh is at her vocal peak in 2009! What a pleasure to listen to her. And whenever I catch a glimpse of her beautiful eyes, it adds a feeling of warm connection.
Fresh as dewdrops hanging from the grass-heads in the early morning. Then it explodes into the energetic flight of a swallow over the fields. Beautiful!
Simply beautiful from start to finish! My hats off to the engineer also, VERY well recorded for clarity - very nice. Could listen to this all day, gorgeous singing! Thank you for sharing this artistic treasure! Slan!
Saw Julie at St George Hall in Bristol a few years back. Unaccompanied solo voice in a darkened hall with just a subtle spotlight on her. The audience were totally silent. Stunned by the power and the beauty of her voice. Amazing.
Lucky N love travel they are actually two gaelic languages in this video . The blonde girl muirreann is an irish gaelic speaker and the brunette julie speaks scots gaelic ,they are very similar like portuguese and spanish,but they are definitely different languages,
@@galoglaich3281 It's the very same language from the very same DNA/culture/people. The reason for some slight changes are obvious to a genuine person that is not an anti Irish troll account. There are slight changes in everybody's language over time and differing words/spelling are/is used by the same culture of people living in different parts of the same country/area.

Absolutely captivating. I study the Irish language. I have a friend on Inis Oirr that I visit often in Ireland. As an Irish American, I try to do my part to preserve this amazing language.
When my grandmother and her sisters came over to America with their thick Irish Brogue they never spoke a word of it and when they passed on they could not understand a word. ☹️ Thank God you all are keeping your beautiful native language.
I got on a binge listening to traditional Gaelic music on TH-cam. This is my absolute favorite since it is upbeat and playful. This type of music can sometimes be a bit too melancholy. I adore the vocals of Julie and Muireann. I wish they were performing in a nearby pub. One minor complaint - I wish the vid had English subtitles or at least a summary in the description to understand what the song is about.
@@eddiewhite7309 Only Scottish is Irish. You don't like the fact that both islands are Irish. Irish people originated from both islands and they travelled and populated europe not just Spain and France but Scandinavian, Dutch, German etc are all culture that were started by the Irish. Romans called the Irish they saw there the 'Scoti'. You pathetic nonsense.
I like most the rhythmical change initiated by the guitarist at the passage from 1:24 till 2:15 (Dhannsamaid Le Ailean). Julie's voice is celestial so to say of divine beauty. Well done also on the Bouzouki and Flute !
This was my first experience of Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh and Julie Fowlis and I'm so glad i came across it. I seriously love it and everything i've heard from them subsequently. Individually superb voices, together i think it's magical.
We have another few clips of these two singing in our Muireann NicAmhlaoibh playlist if would like to check it out. Absolutly beautiful singing. Here is the link th-cam.com/play/PL_f9KuWOmTzi4hOhrCbeDKtpe64G7buGj.html
I didn’t follow a word, but the music and the amazing rendition was captivating! Thanks to trad channel and to TH-cam for presenting this priceless gem to us.
When the blond woman started singing I thought "wow she's got a beautiful voice..". Then the brunet started singing and my jaw just dropped to the floor.
You do not love it - if you can explain - why or what for. I love this song - and it is pure magic, something universal human. Connected to times of our ancient common ancestors.
Thank you for allowing us to hear this beautiful love song, during the Horrific actions of trump I need peace, love and beauty to remind me why we fight so vigorously for Democracy..
The only people who could possibly top this performance are the performers themselves...but why would they? I've run out of superlatives - but this is music that enters the bloodstream through the ears.
This is seriously incredible. This has got to be some of the most criminally underrated music on earth.
I couldn't agree more.
Well said!
Joshua Michael well put
For sure!
Not by those who listen to it.
Hon, Julie Fowlis, har uppträtt i Carlisle och Wexford. Nu är vi på Irland med dess enorma musikskatt
These two women are the bees knees of trad, great singers and fantastic musicians, fair play to you both.
Cheers to "bee's knees"
You get the Gold Star for ancient compliments. Seriously though, I thought I was the only one who still said "Bee's Knees" my Irish grandma said it and passed it on to us, along with Catholic guilt and love of the Sacrament!
Only one word describes this; beautiful!
No amount of processing or electronic instrumentation can beat this music. It is timeless without age or pretention.
Go raibh maith agat for your comment!
and satisfying. i seek nothing else.
Well said
I've never heard Dá bhFaighfinn Mo Rogha de Thriúr Acu bangin in the club lol
Lots of amplification, panning, compression and reverb mind 😂
I am gobsmacked...To think too, that someone in my Celtic, Gaelic past, once spoke this way...gorgeous.
Julie fowlis has the voice of an angel.A near perfect example of traditional music from these islands.dual is a fantastic body of work.
Incredibly beautiful. 💙🏴💚🇮🇪

@@Reas36TV I knew I knew the tune from someplace.
"Though Mary was lame and though her knee was twisted she would happily dance on the fine floor"
Powerful quote from the song
Love your nom de plume - at least, I hope it's a nom de plume. The head of the oligarchy that's basically destroying Western civilization.
Thank God I found this! My mom and dad will love this as well!
What an utter joy to listen to in these dark times of covid 19.

Makes me want run down to the pub for a pint - oh wait it’s closed
it's the only way through.

I'm glad the Celtic languages are making a comeback. I think they're beautiful.
They never went away.
these two are magic together. It's so cool to hear the different strains of Gaelic language and song juxtaposed so beautifully. It's a treasure.
One of our favourite duos! Go raibh maith agat for commenting!

@Healer Tone Four of the happiest years in my life at college South Shields Martec. Geordies and Scots so similar as indeed Belfast to Glasgow.

You are truly blessed
It is hard not to fall a tiny bit in love with Fowlis when she smiles and sings like that at 2:22 :) Great performance by all 4. Love it!
She appreciated the hup at 2.22 made me smile 2
it is impossible
A little bit?! I'm smitten.
