Wonderfully brilliant Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis has a new project with Eamon Doorley, Muiriann Nic Amhlaoibh & Ross Martin. It goes by the name of dual. It should be very good.
Clàr ùr - new album -
Myself, Éamon, Muireann and Ross started performing together around four years ago, after Muireann and myself had a great sing-song backstage at the Tonder Festival in Denmark. The four of us got together for a one-off tour around Scotland and Ireland, and had a great time. We were performing material entirely in Irish and Scottish Gaelic plus instrumental music too, and we have stuck with it ever since, doing tours whenever we can find time. We have been busy in the studio for the last few months and are now delighted to announce that we have a new album! It will be called "dual" a word which means to interlace, twine or braid, and can also mean one's inheritance. The word means the same in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic. The album looks at the strong and ancient links and similarities between the music and song of Gaelic Scotland and Ireland, plus of course the differences that have developed over the years.
The album will be on general release from the end of October, but you can get a sneaky copy of the album next week. The "dual" project will be performing three shows at the Blas Festival, plus two more shows in the Hebrides and this will be the only way to get an early copy of the album in Scotland. Here's where we will be:
Sunday Sept 7th Phipps Hall, Beauly
Monday Sept 8th Aros, Portree
Tuesday Sept 9th The Limetree, Fort William
Friday Sept 12th An Lanntair, Stornoway
Saturday Sept 13th Talla Chàirinis, North Uist
The album will be released by Machair Records and we are grateful to the Arts Council of Ireland and Iomairt Cholm Cille for support and encouragement. Hope to see some of you at the shows!
PS We have put up a sneak preview of the first track on myspace.....hope you like it
