I think you mean ""Tillidh Mi Fhathast " - I uploaded it ten years ago . Search "Scottish Gaelic Song : "Tillidh Mi Fhathast " by Flair"

Stunning - what a voice Noreen had. Love her harmonies with Costello. Grew up listening to my father's Flair lps. I think he had about three of them. Keep posting them - only way I get to hear them now. Moran taing!

A bheil na faclan aig duine sam bith? Tha mi air a bhith ag eisdeachd ri seo bhon a bha mi na mo bhalach!

[@UISTMAN59]

Tapadh leat. Tha mi toilichte gun do chord iad riut.

[@macailpein]

Tha seo fìor mhath. Cha robh mi eòlach air an dithis seo roimhe ach tha mi dèidheil dhà-rìribh air Na Lochies is eile.

I've had this whole album playlist on repeat for weeks now, and am dying to find out any information possible about this duo, this album, and a source for the Gaelic lyrics. I'm having quite a time even finding the simplest information online; aside from the playlist here, there's seemingly no record this even exists outside of KZbin. Do You happen to know where I can learn more? Thanks so much in advance!

[@UISTMAN59]

After recording their first two albums Flair recorded one album ( on cassette) on Noel Eadie's Croft Recordings label in Lewis. Noreen Martin died at a comparatively early early age. Iain MacIver has been conductor of the school choir of Sir Edward Scott's School in Tarbert, Harris, and a successful Gaelic singer in his own right.

UISTMAN59 THANK YOU!! That’s all very helpful and quite interesting to me; now that I have a bit more to go on I can begin tracking down their physical media. I really appreciate Your answer.

[@UISTMAN59]

@pastore0506 Sad to say Noreen Martin died relatively young.

[@AlexThomson-EasternApproaches]

Same tune as _Fàgail Ghrianaig_ (also a Lochs tune, as sung by Na Lochies).

[@niseach]

And ‘Saoil an Till mi Chaoidh’ sung by both Iain MacKay and Margaret Stewart.

[@pastore0506]

That's a good one Iain. Any idea what happened to the female half of the duo when they split up? George

[@caledonia64]

Heard this years ago on Isles FM, streamed online,I think the programme was called sounds Gaelic. Not available anymore sadly. Thanks for posting it. Where was the duo from ?

[@AlexThomson-EasternApproaches]

Iain MacRae He was a printer’s apprentice from Stornoway and she from Liùrbost in Lochs, hence her song about it elsewhere on this album.

[@angusmorrison7359]

Costello Maciver (I think) came from the point district of lewis. He is (or was ) the music teacher at sir e scott school in tarbert harris.

[@UISTMAN59]

@caledonia64 From the Isle of Lewis.

[@pastore0506]

@UISTMAN59 Oh, that's a shame!
