I hate all the ads but had it not been for you tube I would not have discovered all the beautiful, inspiring Celtic music from Brittany, Ireland and Scotland. How wonderful to belong to the same species as the divine creatures that perform these wonderful songs.

+jean- marie ,wonderfully expressed! Been thinking quite the same for quite a few years.....

[@johnopie3346]

jean- marie what about the welsh!!!?

[@openmusic3904]

The only way to describe Julie's music is like a massive hug from a loved one filling you up with peace and an almost undefinable warmth.

[@meredithwilliams4671]

I just "discovered" Julie back in October and I'm addicted to her voice. I listen to her every night and she never fails to calm me down from the stresses of the day. Simply the clearest, sweetest voice I've ever heard in my life.

[@gordonlindsay3415]

Great that the old songs and language are being preserved. We need to thank the islanders from Scotland and Canada for that.

[@bigjesse1985]

My wife and I danced our first dance at our wedding to this song, and it still makes me cry. It is the most beautiful song in the world. Seeing Julie for the second time at the Perthshire Amber Festival with Dougie MacLean on the 29th of October! Cant wait!!!!

[@scrimmy45]

Donal Lunny - what a fantastic musician .

[@jamescameron6677]

Beautiful Music sung by beautiful women ,great band lovely to hear the mother tongue .Alba Gu Brath

[@TheDauntless2468]

This is what real music sounds like! I wish we had more singers like this in America. I love Julie's music, and her for that matter. Jenna seems great as well! I will have to check her out.

[@lars526]

God damn I do hope this music continues to survive....

[@dampatenzin3433]

This song makes me believe in angels.

[@ryanbey4460]

Wow what a perfect song, how beautifully uplifting.

Oh, my goodness, how beautiful

[@guywolff]

English translation: Whether he or the others were drinking There would still be plenty on the table Chorus (after each verse): The drink would be in my love's hand Here's a health to the chief The drink would be in my love's hand A boat was seen on the waves And the red hand at the helm I saw it passing through the straits With a clump of heather on the sail-yard You who saw her out at sea Bless the fair ship and her crew Bless her high masts and her equipment Her moorings and her sails Though I am here in Coll I long to go to Rhum And from there to Uist Were I to get my wish

[@vladimirjezovic5655]

Thanks!

[@unterwant]

thanks !!!!

[@eashton42]

Jenna Reid is simply lovely, both back when this was recorded and now. And not just her physical beauty either; she is as good a Shetland fiddler as there is (at least to my knowledge). She holds her own with Aly Bain, and when you watch vids of the two of them playing together, you can see his respect for her on his face. Such fluid, emotive playing. I can't seem to get enough of her.

[@genes8929]

This music is BEAUTIFUL.

[@worldmusicwoman]

The best song from her first album Mar A Tha Mo Chridhe (As My Heart Is) 2005

[@jonicleoid]

deagh orain! Tha guth sgoinneil aig Julie. Tha i direach miorbhaileach!

[@jean-marie2863]

Francois, Malheureusement je ne parle pas la langue Celte que j'admire du fond de mon coeur!

[@AdmiralLando]

I'm not Scottish, I have no idea what this song means, and it's still one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[@cyndia6278]

I am so glad to see young people singing traditional lyrics and the sounds of the instruments warm my heart. Makes me want to be Irish. Is it possible to have an Irish heart. This is the music that I lean into. THANK YOU

[@johnscot1]

Shame it's Scottish.

[@lilyfacelily]

Thank you for a wonderful session.

[@weeweelegs]

transatlantic sessions is wonderful, hands across the ocean, love Julie and Jenna's voices, great instrument playing what more can be said.

[@angels77100]

I've only discovered Julie Fowlis. What an amazing voice.

[@solinvictus6424]

And I, 10 years after you.

[@MrIbgrant]

I live in Australia, but have Scots ancestry. That was so beautiful!!!!

[@lygs2000]

Three weeks ago I heard this song for the first time - since then, every single time I log on I click on this vid first, before e-mail, spam delete, and blog add. Julie Fowlis is a siren!

[@TheDivayenta]

the greatest dobro player on earth, Jerry Douglas is here, too!

[@cjg28]

+Karen Nyere Thank you, I was just trying to think of his name. isn't he brilliant :-)

[@SydFstyd]

this is amazingly beautiful music and makes me cry every time I listen....now I wish I'd stayed awake during Irish lessons when I was in school....maybe if Julie had been teaching it :-)

[@bglennan1]

This is a great song, performed by just the right people! Thanks for posting!

[@Uncle_Neil]

Juile is touring the US RIGHT NOW! and Jenna is with her! GO see them, that's an order!

[@JoelGarner100]

worlds best vocalist.

[@tristan8141]

This is one of the most uplifting, cheerful, beautiful things I've ever heard. Julie's voice is so clear, and Jenna's is great too. The musicians are amazing too.

[@Lucarius1]

this song (exactly this version) made me fall in love with first the Dobro and second Transatlantic Sessions. And this music still keeps inspiring me every day. Thanks for such great music and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Buckeye67]

I couldn't possibly agree more.

[@jahp83]

[@madpipertn]

[@MsTapenade]

[@mrclearpicture]

[@annmarietornabene]

I absolutely LOVE this song!! And Julie Fowlis!!!

[@jenhesnan]

Gabril Macoisin anseo. This sound comes from an ancient past that touch's 'the soul.

[@scrimmy45]

goosebumps and a warm feeling everytime I hear this beautiful gaelic song.

[@Trollificusv2]

Yep. Continuing his streak of playing "just the right notes" here. He's somewhere up in the millions by now. As is his streak of "music played with wonderful musical artists". What a joy that had to be, playing with these folks and Julie is a really striking woman. Don't know what it is, but I think she's as beautiful as she is wonderful to listen to.

[@scotjack]

Magic.

[@yhz22]

a new Transatlantic Sessions I cant believe it ;).

[@lexinaut]

This is humane history incarnate and a gift to the world as well. Very, very lovely!

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

I love Julie's music!!! It is just so beautiful!!!

[@soleaguirre100]

Beautiful song¡¡¡

[@Kowaniqatsi]

Cada vez tengo más claro que debo ser irlandés! El flamenco no me dice nada y con The Highland Sessions se me saltan las lágrimas...qué gran generación de genios teneis!!

[@donnaprassede]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@serenechaosuk4682]

unspeakably cute, tender and culturally refined girl; bless her little heart !

[@MacLeuthen]

Julie, ich liebe Dich ;-)!

[@captdiggs]

Beautiful...both Julie, and the music. I wish her much success.

[@klickstarter]

Great musicians. I could watch this over and over again. Thanks a lot for posting.

[@GreenLantern1916]

Wow, ever since I first heard this song, I have been listening to it over and over again, I just can't get enough of it. Fortunately, I speak a bit of Irish Gaelic so I am able to catch the drift of what is being said - sigh ... I really love this song!

[@peterminogue5605]

great music

[@jt0851]

Yeah its the transatlantic sessions, loads on youtube. Amazing

[@LochMeikle]

Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever". All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.

[@scrimmy45]

Music and voices that touch the soul.

[@IrishWhiskeyFan]

Beautiful!

[@johnanthonygonzales8714]

Great song and Performance. Awesome on the Dobro.

[@flunkyballlaubenheim]

Toll! Great!

[@Raichu234]

she is beautiful and so is her voice :)

[@austinitesince1979]

Exquisite.

[@MsTapenade]

[@cocoj12345]

As palabras son bonitas, Julie é tan sorprendente x

[@petelee67]

Couldn't have said it better myself! Amazing performance.

[@amc3]

Great performance from the girl from North Uist and the lovely girl from Shetland. Would love to see her do "Eilean Uibhist Mo Ruin " My Grandmother was from "Clachan Loch E`Port" on North Uist, I just love the island and of course Julie and her wonderful music.

[@MarcelGomesPan]

This is one of my favorite songs!

[@Donegal]

Fantastic

[@lexinaut]

History, culture, and language is carried forward in part through traditional music. I'd love to see more of it finding its way into our schools, thoughtfully presented. There is a sad hole in the heart of our language arts and music curricula that needs filling!

Love it!

[@userthor7386]

don't know what to say apart from... goose bumps

[@DamienCH]

Love this song and would love to hear it live.

[@dowhatucan]

this is so so good.

[@petelee67]

I love this tune.

[@kerryg100]

Go raibh maith agat...go hionntach. .....slàn abhaile. .. ...

[@jofrank18]

I think it is sad that these videos don't get more hits. It is some of the best music there is to hear. I hope BBC produces a fourth series of Transatlantic Sessions

[@DIRTYGECKO]

Such a beautifull song, i dont care that i dont understand the words..

[@cuzinkevin]

Great stuff. It is good that the BBC are showing the Transatlantic Sessions on BBC4 on Thursdays. Thanks for posting

[@deeliciousplum]

wonderful song. What a captivating voice! Thank you for sharing this!

[@MarcelGomesPan]

I agree! She is just fascinating!

[@markirish8907]

No idea what she's saying but this is still one of my favorite songs

[@foxinhenhouse3156]

This sounds like a song you would sing while rowing a boat.

[@Lucarius1]

the very first song I ever heard from Julie. An wuth exactly the same instruments. It is a bit differet on Julie's first CD, but still fantastic. I love the Dobo and the sound of the long whistle.

[@jean-marie2863]

Thanks! Merci! Danke!

[@francoisduvalcork]

+jean- marie go raibh maith agat ;)

[@peterminogue5605]

aussi irish fan love this piece of music

[@johnscot1]

Peter Minogue It's Scottish, not Irish!

[@MrCoast21]

beautiful voice

[@lilyfacelily]

素晴らしいセッション、 どうもありがとう。

[@luisolave5991]

que buen tema

[@andrewk1965]

Julie & Jenna are Scottish - from North Uist & Shetland respectively. The language sung is Gàidhlig, Scotts Gaelic. Just thought I'd mention this. Although or course Donal Lunny is Irish

[@amandaberesford]

I have been studying the language for a bit. One thing I found is that coming from a background where all my grandparents spoke the language I had an appreciation for the rhythm of the language because of the way my relatives spoke English. Their English was not standard English, but instead was heavily influenced by Gaelic.

[@sparton00678]

buy transalantic sessions mind blowing

[@Ravenflight104]

You're not the only one !

[@Lucarius1]

That was the very first song where I came across that guy who plays the weird guitar. I immediatelly fell in love with the sound of it. Took me a while to find out who that guy was and what kind of guitar that is. I love Jerry Douglas' Dobro play!

[@macaibhistin]

Great stuff! I love Celtic bluegrass!

[@Zepheriah]

thanks. I actually found it but then forgot where I posted this to say lol.

[@CelticXAngel88]

I never realized how close country music and irish folk music were.

[@johnhealy4233]

I love Irish music also but this is Scottish traditional music.

[@Mifli]

such beautiful women =)

[@AlypiusDC]

wow

[@stuartfuins5290]

i cried three seconds in

[@bazmanj]

i saw her last year at celtic connections, excellent live. Go see her if you get the chance.
