Runrig - Going home..Hearthammer..Siol ghoraidh (Life)

[@goose2021]

Why can't people just be happy for Runrig? Donnie is off doing his own thing ( that he wanted to do! No one forced him out) and the guys are still happy and going strong. I have been listening to them since i was 4 years old! ... that's 23 years. I grew up with Donnie and continue to appreciate them with Bruce. I saw them in Manchester in November and it was one of the best concerts i have been to! If you don't like them now then fine go listen to someone else. Let the rest of us appreciate them

[@spiritofwallace]

Unfortunately the haters will always hate Rachelle. I first was aware of Runrig in 1978 so Donnie’s vocal will always be the best for me. I hope in the eight years that past you are well, healthy and enjoying the music o Runrig. Slàinte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I agree Groose😁👍

[@delfinnixehoppla4089]

Ich liebe runrig schon ein halbes leben ,finde es zwar schade das Donnie gegangen ist aber das wird dieser Musik nicht schaden ! Ich war schon fast 30als ich sie zum ersten Mal hörte und sie haben spuren in meinem Leben hinterlassen .....ihn kann kaum jemand ersetzen, aber man muss sich auf neues einlasssen!!! Das ist unser ganzes leben und ich werde mir musik nicht von einem vermiesen lassen der meint er wär ein star.. ,grins ... Ich bleibe weiter ein fan von ihnen!!!

Runrig will always be in my heart. One of the best scottish groups on my time. Pls come BACK

I'll be the next in line if they ever reform!!

Just saw these guys at Manchester Apollo, celebrating 40 years! What could be better? I loved you then, and I love you now. The guitarist is amongst the best in the world. Thank you Runrig, for the 30 years I have enjoyed you. Long may you continue to reign supreme, even if I am a Sassenach!

[@lindapadley5806]

Love this video, celebrating Runrig. The songs are magnificent! The airshow is a plus one! Many years on. Sad we have lost Bruce. Runrig are gone but not forgotten!

[@lindapadley5806]

50 years on! Runrig have retired, but their music continues!

[@donaldmacaulay9478]

Am do proud to be a uist lassie .. These uist highland boys are the best... Love love love... I talk to the boys on the ferry over to uist it shows they are not big head people they could take the plane home but the use the ferry and are so down to ground.. It was such a special night .. Xxxxx

[@hogwashmcturnip8291]

I love Runrig Pure and simple. They speak to my soul, sad as that might sound. You dont have to be Scottish to get it. I see them more as taking their culture to the world as a gift. Many other bands do too. Maybe one day we will listen to that gift in the way it was intended, stop bitching and work together in the way that musicians do. That would be a great place to live!

[@myraleitch8925]

Amazing! Bruce incredible!

Love the flypast from the Tornadoes. F3s from Leuchars, I'd guess. Bravo the Royal Air Force for flying the flag..

[@donnamaccrossan1358]

This is fantastic. I have never been to Scotland and always my dream to visit or even move there. My grandfather on my father's side was born in Scotland so I am so glad I found this dynamite band a few months ago. Just love this music and it lifts up my spirit when I listen to them.

[@lindapadley5806]

Had the pleasure of visiting Stirling ! Loved the fact I could try and work out where Runrig had their shows !

[@suflo8245]

The fly pasts by the Jets was extra special.Godbless Runrig they are sadly missed.💓And always will be well loved.My heart sings when I hear their music it will never die.❤️There will never be another band like Runrig ❤️Long live Scotland,!

[@JamesClark-ku9qe]

WOW JUST FANTASTIC THANKS RUNRIG YOU BRING TEARS TO MY EYES JUST LISTING TO YOU WISH I WAS BACK IN BONNIE SCOTLAND 😂😂❤❤❤

[@lindapadley5806]

Loved all the songs, but one really caught my attention! It's in gaelic so I didn't know the words, but still brilliant!

[@marytheresaburns4728]

That opening of Going home got me hooked on Bruce Guthro from the start and I’ve loved him ever since, rest in peace Bruce and thank you.

Runrig AND a fly by? I would have pee'd myself with glee had I been there. :)

I've got my passport, I got to get to one of their gigs before it's too late.

[@andrewkeeton5040]

Very unfair to condemn Bruce, He is a great entertainer, and a brilliant singer, A great asset to Runrig.

[@TristanandIsolt]

Donny and Bruce are both so amazing.

[@jamesboyd1176]

Never listen to him. Donnie was Runrig Simple

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@jamesboyd1176 I get angry when I read comments like yours. That is a fault of mine. I will try to keep that anger back. Donnie was great. Bruce was every bit as great. If anyone was Runrig Simple it was the brothers Rory Macdonald and Calum Macdonald. If I understand correctly they pretty much wrote all the songs. Also Malcolm Jones on the guitar. OMG is he great.

[@keirrobinson4156]

@@TristanandIsolt the fact that Rory and Malcolm got more of the spotlight at Bruce-led shows than they did earlier is indeed one of the reasons I prefer Bruce

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@keirrobinson4156 If I had to choose only one it would be Bruce, but it's such a tough choice. Do you think it was Donnie's ego needing to be the center of attention?

[@chopped27]

Just an incredible band. Wish I could experience them live.

[@deeeverett5261]

YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED

[@brownimfc]

Perhaps we prefer Runrig with Donnie. Props to the uploader though, cracking video.

[@TristanandIsolt]

It's absolutely fine to prefer them with Donnie. However, IMO Bruce is amazing also and I find it a shame when people hate on him.

[@Oliepitje]

With these top musicians will surely be a wonderful concert. Have lots of fun there!

[@Oliepitje]

Life is beautiful with wonderful places around the world. Scotland is definitely worth to visit. Who knows, we find each other on one of those beautiful places

2017 : i was in LORIENT to see Run RIG … it was a fantastic Concert !!!!!!!!!!! please RUN RIG come back in France soon

[@johngrafton729]

Hiya.. Sorry no no but Runrig gave their last concert at Stirling castle in August 2018.. They will be missed.. Callum and Rory are still performing as The band from rockall. and other band members have their own projects. Brian - keyboards is in Stirling.. I have been 'with' the lads since they first started in 1973.. You will have to catch upwith all their music!! Best wishes.

Hearthammer Runrig LYRICS With the eyes of a child the wonder of it all I used to search the stars at night and I felt so safe and small Sweet sounds from a Mercy town and my nursery God I wanted to ride with Yuri Gagarin as he circled all around my world Hearthammer and I lose control Hearthammer Lying under the covers. Radio on Settle down with Caroline as she sailed all summer long Sweetheart of the Rodeo Mining Hearts of Gold I think it was somewhere post Rubber Soul Hearthammer and I lose control Hearthammer Hearthammer and I lose control Hearthammer There was the first caress There were the Labour years There was the man that walked the moon something I never really believed The Di Stefano twists the Charlton goals Now I'm still here with the eyes of a child the wonder never grows old Hearthammer and I lose control Hearthammer Hearthammer and I lose control Hearthammer Hearthammer and I lose control Hearthammer The wonder never grows old Songwriters: Calum Macdonald / Rory Macdonald

Runrig were one of the first scottish bands I heard , not the last but brilliant! Its's good to mix traditional and rock, catches two audiences keeps people listening.

[@kimhouston2771]

In New Zealand so don't get much Runrig but got lots of there CDs. Love Runrig with Donnie but still love Runrig without. Like life all things must change. My son is in Glasgow working said they played Runrig in the bar he works (Bath Street Pony his name is Asa) and he thought of me and had a tear in his eye. That is what Runrig is the music, the memory, the tears etc. I am not a Gaelic speaker but two Runrig songs are my funeral songs. It's the music!

[@Daveonar]

RIP Bruce such an amazing singer songwriter.

Love Hearthammer. Named my first carbon fiber bike Hearthammer. She could make me grin like a mad man and bring tears to my eyes all at the same time.

[@1950BobbyF]

brownimfc - i was comparing runrig with bieber. your comment is irrelevant as is your argument, since it's so stale. i've been a fan of runrig for the past 35 years. donnie left in the 1997. he's still friends with all the lads & is also friends with bruce. the whole donnie vs. bruce argument might have held water in the previous century, but dear lawd, just give it a rest. did you want runrig to end & die 'cause donnie left? if your reply is yes, then you're nae true fan of the band.

[@stevehughes6627]

FFS, Donnie sang with the choir on their last ever performance! Think that says it all about the band's love for him!?

[@Oliepitje]

Thanks for this information. Immediately look on google and see a beautiful wild nature When it's possible, I would like to visit that area.

Just because Donnie left doesn't mean the band can't continue look at Pink Floyd after Roger Waters left, they continued to go onwards and still pack the auditoriums that they played !!!!!
