An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like).
This last show was introduced by Sam Lee and Julie Fowlis, who also performed various songs. Described as 'Mouth Music' (Puirt-a-Beul) the performance by Julie Fowlis of 'Fodor Dha Na Gamhna Beaga' (translates as 'Fodder for the Small Stirks') knocked me out. She sings a jig, is the easiest way I can describe it.
The whole concert is currently available (all 2 hours*). However the actual snippet of 'Fodor Dha Na Gamhna Beaga' is not separately available. I have though found a version from BBC Celtic Connections in 2016, which is equally as good.
