One doesn't have to understand Gaelic to love this music-Hell, I'm a Frenchman from St. Peter's ,Cape Breton Island and I can't get enough of this wonderful group of musicians. Thanks for making this great music available.
Don't worry not many celts understand their native language these days. But in Ireland it's making a resurgence with a lot of public office jobs requiring a certain level of Irish to be considered for a position. There's also been a notable increase in the demand for fluent Irish speakers in contact centres across the country
Not only is she incredible, I love how she's pulled together so much talent from across the Celtic landscape! In this concert I see represented musicians from Capercaillie, Wolfstone, Danu, and others! I hope they all inspire more Gaelic language acquisition.
This is typical of songs that used to be sang by groups of women in the outer Hebrides when they had strenuous work to do, like making the dough, mixing the milk to make butter or washing clothes on a washboard. Life was very hard and work was not for the weak hearted, but there was no choice, work hard to feed and clothe the families or die of the harsh weathers. So they used to sing together and many old songs like this noticeably pick up the pace. So try to imagine the women all working together in the harsh conditions, singing together as they work and singing faster to encourage them to work faster and harder. It was a morale thing as well as adding some aspect of fun into the daily routine. There were no tv's, and a book was scarce to come by for an average family unit. So music and dance was a big part of life, it cost no money and various songs were over time created for different aspects of life.
Plus most of the commoners were illiterate anyway back then so books even if they were widely as such distributed wouldnt have been read much by the commoners, so making songs more important as they could remember them
@@jeremysmith54565 that’s a very good point, yes singing and music were remembered by passing on through generations and by word of mouth, you are spot on! Isn’t it amazing how resilient they were? These days my teenage daughter thinks the world is ending if she looses internet connection for 2 minutes 😆☺️
Beautiful voice, beautiful woman, and a wonderful band! I'm exited. I appreciate the discipline in the dynamic playing: All for the song, not for the player. Great! And - btw - wonderful music! Greetings from Berlin.
Halò! ‘S mise Raghnaid NicGaradh ‘s tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig. ‘S e cànan glè bhreagha a th’ ann.

It’s a very beautiful language and I’m pleased to be learning it... even if our clan was French originally! I live in Australia, but my grandfather, Charles Hay, was cousin to the late Laird Jock of Delgatie.
He took time off from protecting Gondor from Saurons orcs and fighting to keep middle earth free to follow his dream of being a bass player in a Scottish folk band
I love this song(s), partially because i don't understand a word from what she sings. Sometimes bad lyrics can ruin otherwise a very nice song. and sometimes you just cant help but listen to the lyrics if you understand the language.
Loving these videos! I first saw Julie in Brussels in July 2010 and will be in Durham, England on 29 September 2011. In the meantime getting my daily fix from her CDs and RUclips ...
i may be american but i have irish in me and this makes me feel great, magickal, happy. and to know were some of my roots are. every time i here this or flogging molly or dropkick murphys i have a sense of power in me. and god damn why cant they teach gaelic or dutch german from the amish. i mean yeah spanish n german are cool but with gaelic you know a language no one really know and its a beautiful magical language :)
J'aime beaucoup la personnalité de cette écossaise très talentueuse. Son mari est membre du groupe de folk irlandais Danú que je tiens également en estime.

Celtic language and culture was spread over the isles long before the Romans arrived and there was currently a shift in the language throughout the Celtic world from Q to P. This was interrupted by the Romans and so Spanish Celts, Ireland and western Scotland, were the last places to retain Q Celtic. The Romans referred to any Gaelic raider as a "Scot", many of these coming from the sea kingdom of Dalriada based on Scotland's west coast.
From a personal standpoint, I live in America but I am of Scottish ancestry and have embraced this heritage fully. In the town I live near an Irish Pub opened about 5 years ago, and me being a Signpainter and Graphics man, did the signage and graphics. So to say I poured myself into it, the main signage is carved, 23 k gold leaf, and full colour graphics. Well, the Irish guy they hired to be general manager got loaded on night before the place even opened and they fired him. No one else of the investors are of Irish or Celtic blood. Recently they have dropped the Irish theme and have just become another bar............a memorial to apathy and mediocrity because it's just too much work to invest and be knowledgeable about a culture. I tried my best to get acts into the place that are Celtic, but could get no one of the ownership or management to agree. This music reminds me of what could have been for the Wild Rover, but alias no more.

Detlef Stockhaus that is a greek instrument and not an invention by any irish person i have been listening to and playing greek music since the fifties get you facts right
Yes, the bouzouki is a greek Instrument. And Andy Irvine first used a greek bouzouki in the 60's, but in a different tuning. And then an irish Luthier build him a lute like instrument like this in the video. And they called it Irish Bouzouki. So, the greek bouzouki is the ancestor oft the irish bouzouki and Andy Irvine "invented" this Instrument to the irish music. So, I didnt talk about greek bouzouki in my post before and the Instrument played here isnt a greek bouzouki.
Picts mixed with Scotti Gaels in the 8th century along with Viking invaders, to form the nation Alba, after Alpine's death, Kenneth MacAlpine Overcame the Picts with an alliance with the Vikings. All modern Scottish people are Gael, Pict, and Nordic..........

I'm seriously impressed with her abilities and the fact that she's what amounts to a cultural ambassador for Scotland.
This song fills my soul's coffers like nothing else in the world. Thanks Julie.
Sparks fly when she sings.
Totally love Celtic music. :)

Nice to meet you! ^-^ I am a descendant from the same clan. I do not have the last name because it was my Grandmother who had the name.

Waulking song
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geweldige muziek!
At 2:37 she is somewhat "barking" between the incredible quick speech. How does she do that?
I love the shout.
class tune :)
thank you. my own!
❤️
Yep!
It reminds me a bit of myheritage's song for irish/scottish/welsh dna results...does anyone know if that song is hers? And how is it called...
What a nice elf! Where did they catch it?

I would have passed out from lack of oxygen......beautiful song though! :)
It's not Irish, it's Scottish- however the languages are related. Scottish people called it "Gaidhlig" pronounced gal-ick.
there is no Irish bouzouki planxty member Andy Irvine discovered it in his journeys he used it in the 70 to recreate Irish songs the origin is Greek
From a personal standpoint, I live in America but I am of Scottish ancestry and have embraced this heritage fully. In the town I live near an Irish Pub opened about 5 years ago, and me being a Signpainter and Graphics man, did the signage and graphics. So to say I poured myself into it, the main signage is carved, 23 k gold leaf, and full colour graphics.

liked your story :)...what a shame,how fab that would have been to be a celtic pub playing all that wonderful music...over a guiness!
I'm so happy Assassins Creed Valhalla brought me here🔥🔥💯💯
This tune is in that game?
And the another people who dislike... Prince William August, Duke of Cumberland.
Oh how I wish I knew Gaellic!

Rumor has it that Julie is married to that Irish lad on the Bouzouki. No doubt Scotland produced a good one in Julie. Long live Gaeldom!
What instruments are these? (The lute-thing specifically)
That's an Irish Bouzouki. Invented by Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny in the sixties.

The name of this song is Hùg air a Bhonaid Mhoir, not Hùg air a Bhonnaid Mhor. My ma noticed and is making me comment about it. XD
