Julie Fowlis
20th Jun 2010 7:30 pm
Since being presented with BBC Radio 2’s Folk Singer of the Year award in 2008, the Daily Telegraph's prediction that "Fowlis could be the first Scottish Gaelic crossover star in the making" has seemed increasingly prescient. She has recently worked with artists as diverse as Bill Whelan, John McCusker, Eddi Reader, Jayme Stone and Salsa Celtica as well as James Taylor and Martha Wainwright.
Julie is touring with a top-class band including Éamon Doorley on bouzouki, Dubliner guitarist Tony Byrne, highland fiddler Duncan Chisholm and bodhrán champion Martin O'Neill. This formidable line-up has become synonymous with emotive, expressive and high energy live shows.
Julie is a passionate torchbearer for the culture of her native Western Isles: coupled with her extraordinary talent, it is this quiet determination to celebrate the music of the Outer Hebrides and Highlands of Scotland on its own terms that ensures that Scots Gaelic music is reaching a wider audience than ever before.
*Please note that the seating for this show comprises of cabaret style seating on the flat floor, combined with the usual tiered seating at the back of the auditorium.
