"The Kelburn Brewer"

[brainwane]

From 37:14 till about 42:00 of the 1st February episode of Caithream Ciùil is a rockin' instrumental tune with horns and strings. It is so rockin' that I wanted to know more! Despite not knowing Scottish Gaelic, I worked out that the song's "The Kelburn Brewer", and is a collaboration involving Natalie Haas and Alasdair Fraser and closes their CD "Abundance".

"The Kelburn Brewer" as a YouTube track. Gets going around 0:34, then picks up further about a minute in, then increases its jammin'-ness as it goes. Enjoy! And I should listen to more Haas and Fraser.

Not only is that a lovely song, but listening to the presenter taught me that Scots Gaelic is an A+ anti-insomniac. The rhythm of the language is familiar enough to snag my attention, and alien enough to baffle me to sleep.

Awesome! :D
