This is from a program called Transatlantic Sessions. Almost every musician in that room is nigh legendary in their respective traditions.
The fact that Donal Lunny is backing her, speaks volumes. What an amazing group of musicians.
Boy ! I still LOVE this .... and Julie !!
Yeh - its a good one - was awarded Scots Trad Music Award Album of year - she does a few reels and stuff on whistle too!
Ive never heard of this women before but im now in love!!! The music is beautiful and her voice is angelic!!
WOW. Brilliant song and great voice.
Wonderful Voice and Musicians!
Beautiful arrangement, what a great series of programs, great musicians and singers, great sound and an excellent overall production. Maith sibh go leir.
Yes, this IS great music!
wonderfull, cheers up the heart,
Ich könnte mir das video immer wieder anhören
Series 1 and 3 available on DVD.
A fouth series is being recorded for UK transmission - probably around October
Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice
It's wonderful to see how much joy Julie has in singing this song. The Sessions band is perfect, especially Donal Lunny.
Beautiful :)
I love this particular performance of this song thd most.
The chorus ("vocables" like "tra la la" :
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
Each line is followed by the chorus:
Oh noble youth who has left me
You have kept me behind all the others
Unknown to my father or mother
Unknown to sister or brother
Oh woman at the spinning wheel
You know how my heart is
A young Campbell in your possession
I will not get a baptism in Uist
Until I reach the yellow-haired man
You have kept me behind all the others
You can find the lyrics and translation at the website "Celtic Lyrics Corner". Just look under "Julie Fowlis" and the CD "Mar A Tha Mo Chridhe"
She is beautiful and what a fab voice !!!!!!!
awsome !!
what a voice ...
Slainte.
Yes it was great. Could be a good Christmas present - it's due out on DVD 3rd December :-]
Another gem from Master UA-camr - TomTScotland. Give this man a "Youbie"
I think it's great that the elves are now willing to share their music with the humans.
Just Kidding. Heavenly.
Well put! ... Seconded!
Guth glè bhinn, òran glè bhrèagha, caileag glè àlainn cuideachd! Bu chaomh leam fhios a bhith agam am beil i pòsta!
An actual angel.
Julie Fowlis again appears in Transatlantic Sessions Series 4 which will be transmitted on BBC Four TV on Friday 18 September 2009 at 20:30 BST (CD and DVD will follow). Series runs for 6 weeks.
Amazing woman Julie !
Love it nice song
WONDERFUL
this is Scottish Gaelic, a language closely related to Irish. In Irish you could say 'iontach agus foirfe'.
I don't think she has an individual DVD release. However, if you Google "Tranatlantic Sessions 3" - you will find that this series is due to be released shortly - and of course she features on several tracks.
Julie tha mo dhuil ruit! Great Singing!
Percussion is Donald Hay and bassist is Todd Parks.

True, you'll find dozens of good videos of her and other Scottish and Irish musicians on youtube, the only disadvantange being that it discourages people from buying her brilliant albums.
I love it !! good stuff folks :-)
shis an angel
1st class . this girl can sing.
@LochMeikle: Thanks for your information about Transatlantic Sessions 4! Very helpfull! I will keep my eyes open.
I owned TR 3 soe days ago - great music, great musicians and a wonderful session atmosphere.......
She is singing in Scottish Gaelic or Gaidhlig which was derived from irish Gaelic or Gaeilge. Irish Gaelic is one of the oldest written languages in Europe, if not the oldest. Very few Scottish people understand Scottish Gaelic, probably around 1%, and in fact more Irish would understand this song because they are taught Gaelic in school and Scottish and Irish gaelic are similar although not exactly the same. There are Scottish, Irish and American musicians playing here.
+guyfihi Because in Eire, it is called Irish, not Gaelic. It is their mother tongue, that is why they are trying not to lose it and teaching the children. But like Spanish, French, etc.. in America, if you do not use it, you lose it. I lived awhile in County Galway, where it is still spoken by the most in Eire. But for the most, the young forget it as fast as they stop learning it.
Tà an ceart agat. ..
maith sìbh. ..
Greetings from Ireland
Definitely not the oldest written languages in Europe. Irish is for sure one of the oldest languages its one step removed from the earliest Proto European languages. Irish culture was oral the first written records of the language was done by medical monks and scribes who where creating books like the book of Keels which where in Latin, but the monks would ues the roman alphabet to write in Irish for their notes. There is an older version called Ogam which was carved into standing stone
It comes as no surprise to me that one of the original Planxty line up plays along with Julie Fowlis.
I loved the old Planxty albums from the seventies.
You don't get many better singers that Julie either.
This is so good but the ending takes my breath away . What a controled fall to and feather - like landing
heh
thanks, i love it!
we're like the saddest stalkers ever to wlak the earth ;)
One question. Are the Transatlantic sessions still available? I heard the series was discontinued
tried to order on amazon and it looks like a waiting list. Anywhere else. I,m in the US
I love your voice and your music, O Princess Julie let it be in your knowledge there
(The heart of the Iraqi named Hossam)
Laeken, despite the distances I have for the Aahqk O beautiful Princess Jolie.

This is from a series called "Transatlantic Sessions 3", a scottish TV series from BBC 4. Every TV tune lasts 30 minutes. In the moment they send TR 4 . The older recordings were in 1995/ 1997/ 2007/ 2009
Speaking of which, I wish I could see her hands all the time so I could figure out which notes she was playing!
Agreed, this song is great and Julie is super hot, maybe we'll meet on the machair on north uist one day!
lol
copy the following into search panel
breda smyth bachelor's walk
Some fantastic playing and a delight to the eye - Breda is so bonnie!
ok, thank you billcody27
I'm can't tell if that's an Overton or a Kerry Pro (or Chieftain) low whistle there. A google search for those will lead you in the right direction.
Can anyone provide a general idea of what the lyrics mean? It's so catchy and so beautiful!
@batterseaspark I think she's very special and very gorgeous.
Do you Julie Fowlis song in BBC Transatlantic session in 2011?
My understanding is that Julie is actually from NORTH UIST, not SOUTH UIST.
What are you talking about? There are quite a few now. Karine Polwart is one I can think of. Malinky...and others that eh don't come to mind. (Karine is in Malinky)
Well, it has been around for a bit longer.
What series is this on Dvd?
Can anyone tell me whether or not this is a waulking song?
Boy can she sing.
I am old and have always liked Folk music so it's good to see that there is a generation that values such stuff.
Interesting that she can play the whistle without using her cheeks like a hamster - now that is breath control.
i want to marry this woman please.
meas gu mòr
I sure don't know what she saying but it sure is perdy!
Ending cadence....any views ??
Scots Gaelic isn't any more ancient than English. It's still in use!
Rhagorol. Diolch eto
julie is spellbinding and adorable. pity that peter jackson didn't cast her as a singing woodland elf in the lord of the rings.
@JoelGarner100
Unfortunately she's already took.
This isn't Irish. This is Scottish.
Alba gu bráth.
Okeydokey
Actually no, ha, I am deaf in one ear :)
But anyway, I am quite new to whistle playing so not up to playing by (my one) ear as of yet...
Maybe she's one of them?
...too late
creepy as this sounds, there is nothing hotter than a girl playing whistle.
Waiting for someone to claim this song is influenced by Africans LMAO
