I am a Spanish man... Runrig is absolutely unknown in our country. I'll never understand. I discover the Runrig music in 1989... and I love it. The name of my daughter is.... ALBA. Thank U, Runrig to exist...
Takes me back to a night in 1991 when I sat on the street below Edinburgh Castle with a good friend and enjoyed listening to that majestic guitar sound of Runrig echoing across the city. All the best from Ireland.
Demondavy: Aye and a good ear you have! Rory is my favourite of all of Runrig--he has a great voice, as well--I love when he sings lead in Gaelic! Alba Gu Brath! Runrig, Rock On!!! xxxx
The concert was back in 1991.Started of at Loch lomond then moved onto different places around scotland including Edinburgh Castle then onto european citys.
The Boys had hair in those days!! Good to see the old line up, from the Big wheel tour again. I live in Edinburgh, the Castle has some big name act over the years, But Runrig are the only one to have had Dancing in the street below. 18 days to Beat The Drum
Hooooly jesus...... I have this very gig on VCR- I remember when I was a kid trying to learn this song on guitar constantly rewinding and playing, watching Malcom's fingers closely. XD Good time- excellent song
Good stuff, was a great concert, I recognise half of the front row!!hahaha!! Can't wait to see them there again...not long now!!! Yeah and Donnies mullet rocked back then!!!LOL
The people on the front rows in a Runrig concert tend to show up in their concerts as well. If you look at their early videos, you start to notice the same faces over and over. And they so KNOW it when the red camera light is on them. >_
@ciudadanoquiros I am a Scottish man, staying in Catalonia, I went to this concert in Edinburgh and Loch Lomond. The best ever concert I ever went to. I believe that Alba is Dawn in Catalan? I saw this here and was surprised to see this word in Catalonia. Thanks for enjoying the old Runrig, do not like the new Runrig, well for the past 7 years or so, with the Canadian
@ciudadanoquiros Alba means Scotland in Scottish Gaelic, it doesn't mean Runrig. Runrig is the name of a type of agricultural ploughing they used to use in the Highlands. This song is about someone returning to Scotland (verse one, this flight is sailing through the clouds, etc) and finding it powerless (verse two, that empty house in Edinburgh) and saying it is like he remembers it (final words of verse three are about how this land is as dear to him as it was the day he was born).
Hi friends of Runrig... My daughter got the name because it has different meanings in the home language. In Spain ... Alba means "dawn. " In Latin, "White Woman. " In Scotland ... means "Runrig." A friend. OQ
"how many bands have lasted as long as they have???" Not that many, but if you stick around those islands, you may have heard of The Dubliners. Runrig are still rather green compared to those. They're good, nonetheless.

Bien amigo Incauto, bien!!!!
Buen gusto... Un abrazo. Oscar Quirós Romero
my niece's name is Alba. I know this song is about Scotland, but whenever I hear the chorus, the meaning is something different to me.
Alba simply means 'Scotland' in Gaelic

Long live Scotland and Catalonia, freedom to them

Nice vest Donnie.
mullet-tastic!
why doesnt ian bayne have this drum kit anymore :(
Donnie's mullet type affair was soul destroying but they didn't half pen some cracking choons.
Precious years are passing since you left Donnie
@MrFrontallobotomy I speak Gaelic. I was translating the lyrics. The lyrics mean what I said they mean
@MrStevieevil RIP? Runrig is still going strong and gets better every year.
So when was this concert?
Hi friends of Runrig...
My daughter got the name because it has different meanings in the home language. In Spain ... Alba means "dawn. " In Latin, "White Woman. " In Scotland ... means "Runrig."
A friend. OQ
ALBA = SCOTLAND
was this ever released as a dancey version? I heard one years ago..
Patrick Cosgrove yes it was, by Paul Mounsey (I think)
2019 ¿
They're not the same without Donnie are they? :(
"how many bands have lasted as long as they have???"
Not that many, but if you stick around those islands, you may have heard of The Dubliners. Runrig are still rather green compared to those.
They're good, nonetheless.
I wonder how many voted No in that crowd?
donnie munro did
Plenty... nationalism and patriotism are completely different things...
You couldn't be more fucking right. :)
@Punorss Roaster
Love the old band to but i dont like the new one with that guy in it.Cant wait to the summer here for donnie to come back loch lomond again.
Their saying aaaaa alakba
Ach's math dhomh bhath seo an drsad
A cur failt air a'bhlas
'San tir tha cho ur dhomh an dugh
Is a bha i nuair bha mi 'nam phaisd...
