Karine Polwart - Follow the Heron - Na Trads !

[@Indianabones007]

The most beautiful honest pure singer that our country has ever produced

[@b.bailey8244]

i never saw a vibraphonist use a bow before! Such beautiful unusual blend of music makes an etheric musical story with her voice soaring - yet such exquisite calm do I feel. I love the winter, feel most at home there but I think this song must be about the turn of winter to spring and back again and the wisdom of each season and of Nature's lessons.

[@briancaven7265]

Testament to masters of their craft.... rivers flow every time I hear her sing this.

[@stumclellan5988]

It's hard to find something more beautiful than this exquisite song, sung and played like this.

[@timelwell7002]

Sensitive playing, Karine has such a great voice, great song, further enhanced by by having the unusual but wonderful combination of accordion (straight-tuned) and vibraphone. Exquisite.

Really unusual and lovely "seasonal" song in 6. I heard it sung in 4 down in Somerset and I certainly find it easier to sing in 4!

True magic!

[@yoshimimiyazaki3482]

Going to hear/see her at Findhorn Festival in Sept!!!

[@melanyratsak6038]

beautiful :)

[@Starmagon]

Am I right in thinking this would be classed as Scottish folk music?

[@Arkybark]

+Gregor “Wolf” Milligan Folk music, as opposed to trad, is sometimes written by someone, and as Karine is rooted in the folk music genre, why not call it that? New folk music by a singer-songwriter that one day may be thought of as trad........

[@frezatto]

It makes me pretty sad :'(

[@storytreble3]

Gold

[@stephenmcewan2460]

Does "Heron" mean herring? Or the big-beaked bird?

[@jamres870]

i can play the kalimba or the bowed vibrophone

[@davidonapittock8662]

Why can't I embed!!!!!! :(

[@theboss1967able]

this is it . A mate of mine said that her song has been used by the orange order, something like " by night and by day we'll drum and we'll play to the sound of the sash coming over the brae" . It's this tune

Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.
