Orain Gaidhlig (Gaelic songs)
by Compilation
In the 1960s, television progammes like 'Se ur Beatha' and 'Fear an Tighe' brought Gaelic into the homes of many Scots who had a regrettably limited knowledge of their ancient native tongue. The programmes were a great success. This CD pulls together a number of recordings from the mid 1950's through the 1960s including early recordings of Alasdair Gillies and of Calum Kennedy accompanied on guitar rather than by the more familiar orchestral arrangements. Most of the songs are traditional but there are one or two which are more recent. A very pleasant and nostalgic compilation of songs in a beautiful language to be enjoyed by Gael and non-Gael alike.
