@@derekjensen4680 If we're being pedantic, he is both Scottish and British, and the style of music is celtic influenced which means likewise you could describe it as Scottish in particular, but British isn't technically wrong either. The celtic melodies would be associated often with Ireland which isn't British. Folk music of the region tends to come from/be associated with celtic areas - if you try to find "English" folk music, there's a weird void. The only authentic thing that jumps to mind is gustav holst, which isn't folk but he has some suites based on supposed english countryside folk melodies.
@@ic8575 Well it's more accurate then calling him Ska. BTW there hopefully will be a box set including a DVD in 2026 so says an inside source, look for a kickstarter fund to emerge in the coming months for it
Simply Scotland's finest
Simply wonderful. I am always moved by Now Westlin Winds.
Dick Gaughan is a force of nature. One of musics legends.
And yet so incredibly unknown, at least in America. I find that a travesty.

Perfection...
Magnificent! What channel broadcast this originally?
Possibly Belgium TV
How do Scots pronounce his surname? Is it like the English Vaughan

Scottish not British
referring to the style of music he plays, not his nationality
