Absolutely stunning as always
What a soul & ear treat you beautiful vocalists & artists are. Its a joy to see a new video pop up. I was lucky to come across you in Kaleidoscope in Ireland 3 years back and I am so happy I did. Thank you for your beautiful talent ❤
We're so pleased you enjoy our releases Stacey! We have such fond memories of performing at Kaleidoscope three years ago.

Absolutely beautiful. Is this arrangement online? I would love to try it with my own acapella group!
Hell yeah! It feels like Christmas morning when you guys upload a new video

amazing! you always outperform my expectations every time i listen. absolute legends. beats me how it is that your following on youtube is so disproportionate to the quality of your content.
Thank you so much! We're so pleased you enjoy our videos. More coming soon we promise. ☺️
Highly agree to all. This is stunningly beautiful talent
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye.
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclaps rend the air;
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye.
Many's the lad, fought on that day
Well the claymore did wield;
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field.
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye.
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye.
Burned are their homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men;
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again
You're simply amazing. You are currently delivering perhaps the most exciting musical releases in the acapella area!
Keep it up :)
Wow, thank you! That means a lot. More videos coming soon. 🎵
