I’ve shared a couple of scottish singers – tonight it is the turn of the instrumentalists – fiddles, accordion, tin whistle and many more…..
Folk Music
Puirt à beul
One style of Scottish music that I enjoy listening to is Puirt à beul – literally “mouth music” and usually cheerful. Personally I can’t listen to this without a very quick urge to tap my foot. I am also rather in awe of those who are adept at this form of singing.
A Song Of Lost Love
No matter what country you are speaking about there are a huge range of different types of music and Scotland is no exception. However, often much of it is only known and loved within the country itself. I’m sure everyone has their own idea of what “typical” scottish music is 😃 – there may even be some who think shang-a-lang is an old scottish saying of some sort 😂. Perhaps during this short series you will find a different “sound of Scotland” to the one you already were familiar with.
