For no particular reason after a glass or four of the homemade wine this evening, I had a recollection of this track and hunted it down. Julie Fowlis singing to her baby. I'd almost forgotten about it, but it's as good as I remember it. I'm just sharing the link for anyone who likes this kind of thing. And for anyone who wants an encore ...https://youtu.be/x7jW5qDexnc?t=146 ...she has such a disciplined voice. But I'm probably prejudiced because I love the Gaelic sound.

Lovely tune fella! think a lot of folk feeling reflective at mo. Try Red Dirt Skinners version of Pink Floyds  Comfortably Numb. Like folky Floyd. . . Strangely bumped into an old girl friend of mine to day i hadn't seen for 30 years. She reminded me of our tune i hadn't listened to for ages. So i had to look it up and av a listen. Siouxsie And The Banshees  Last Beat Of My Heart. A  truly great tune! Well worth a listen. Have heard it played at weddings and funerals amongst my crowd. Works for both! She well talented and great writer. Been a fan for years. . . Another lovely song from back then is Kirsty McColl's So Long As You Hold Me.  NB

I'm an emotional bloke and music often really "gets" me. Sorry to sound so cissy. But Kate Rusby's voice gets me more than most. Beautiful...…….🥵

Same here fella when it comes to  music! 😉 Especially female artists. BIG fan of Kate to! She got an amazing voice and write some great tunes. Got tickets to see here next month in a huge lovely old wool church local to me in Lavenham Suffolk. Been really looking forward to it as i have worked on that church over the years and the acoustics are amazing! Don't think it will go ahead now but there's nowt on her web site?     NB

Kate is a lovely lass, was even as a kid  --  If you can listen to her cover of the Kinks "village green preservation society"  = strikes a chord.

One of my most favourite songs. The Kinks original was clever but Kate's version is very atmospheric.
