Dùsgadh - Joy Dunlop Aonghas
Stunning debut from this gorgeous Gaelic singer. This album is something special, spine tingling vocals mixed with beautiful arrangements. Her voice is stunning & she really sells you the songs, even a non Gaelic speaker like myself couldn't fail to be moved. We'll definitely be hearing more from this girl - remember her name and where you heard her first! 5 ***** in my book.
