Brilliant performance. Thanks again Norrie for your lovely voice.

[@hollett5]

Hands down, my new favourite band! Very similar style of music that I grew up listening to here in Newfoundland, Canada

[@jerimyspencer1541]

I just listened to Alive for the first time recently and thought bits of it reminded me of the great Great Big Sea 🙌🏼

[@hollett5360]

@@jerimyspencer1541yes most definitely! Would love to see them live someday!

Thanks for taking the time and trouble making this list, JamiePhonic, very useful. I was catching up with Skippinish as it's recently been announced they'll be playing at The Gate to Southwell Folk Festival (June 6th-9th 2019, Southwell, Notts). b.

[@UnKnown-rk2mr]

I discovered these fellow on KZbin in Ohio. I have started adding music to collect.

[@ronbr1000]

Fair replacement of Runrig……..huge act to follow

[@phillavery2666]

Fantastic band

[@vivianlemottee3291]

Absolutely the best band ever. Can't get enough.

[@Realrandomman]

How have I missed this band? Wonderful. Let's hope live music starts up again in 2021.

[@joanmurray7986]

Brilliant....

[@Unxgamilcver]

Me that knows most of these songs off by heart

[@n2203200]

Great set. Half Scottish half English. It's to see a band singing neurally. #lovewins

[@graemestevens5414]

Half Gaelic and Half English I think you mean? Not as much to do with singing neutrally as it is they write in both languages. That said, there was clearly a good connection between the band and the crowd in Shrewsbury and thats great, considering most of the music relates to Hebridean Islands., which of youve been are totally worth singing about!

[@TheLupulalb]

Is this band from Scotland or Ireland? sorry for my ignorance (: Someone below says they are good to replace Runrig, I do not agree, Runrig are unique .... as these guys are unique, no matter where these guys are, they are good, and God bless Ireland and Scotland

[@TheLupulalb]

@@cmcc3721 thanks !

[@gerhardvollmer6669]

Great I like this music

[@markblack8831]

Anyone know the name of the first tune?

[@baxterholland8718]

Cro Chinn T-Saile (Cattle Fold of Kintail)

[@markblack8831]

Baxter Holland thank you!

[@baxterholland8718]

Mark: If you would like a more traditional version (and I think probably closer to the original), listen to Margaret Stewart's and Allan MacDonald's version on KZbin. It's a very old Scottish song from Ross-Shire. The Gaelic title is "Theid Mi Dhachaidh Cro Chin T-Saile," ("I will go home to Kintail"). It is said to have been written by a soldier wounded at the Battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715, and afraid he would not get home again. Don't know if you're Scottish, but Kintail is in Wester Ross about 15 miles from the Isle of Skye. Enjoy

[@markblack8831]

Baxter Holland brilliant cheers for that.. Very interesting! I'll check it out 👍

[@markblack8831]

Do you know where I would find the sheet music for it?
