Happy Birthday to the Gaelic Folk sing Julie Fowlis.

Julie Fowlis is a multi-award winning Gaelic singer who is deeply influenced by her early upbringing in the Outer Hebridean island of North Uist. With a career spanning five studio albums and numerous high profile collaborations, her ‘crystalline’ and ‘intoxicating’ vocals have enchanted audiences around the world.

Nominated as ‘Folk Singer of the Year’ at the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, and ‘Best Artist’ at the Songlines World Music Awards, Julie is a warm and engaging live performer who has graced stages around the world, from village halls in the Highlands to stages in New York, The Philharmonie de Paris and Shakespeare’s Globe in London. Recent invitations to perform have included a return to world-class Festival of Voice in Cardiff, the World Festival of Sacred Music in Fez, Morocco, to collaborate with the BBC Concert Orchestra in the Royal Albert Hall for the Proms and to support Scottish icons ‘Runrig’ to an audience of 50,000 during their farewell concert weekend in August 2018. She sang live at the closing ceremony of the Ryder Cup in Chicago in 2012 to a TV audience of 500 million, an event that was only eclipsed by singing live at the opening ceremony of the Glasgow XX Commonwealth Games in 2014, to a TV audience of over 1 billion people.

Since of the release of her otherworldy album ‘alterum’ in 2017, she has been in demand – touring with the world-class Transatlantic Sessions, sell-out shows in London and throughout the UK, and is currently working on a major new 14-18 commission with celebrated Highland musician Duncan Chisholm, commemorating 100 years since the ‘Iolaire’ tragedy.

She will forever be recognised for singing the theme songs to ‘Brave’, Disney Pixar’s Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA winning animated film, set in the ancient highlands of Scotland. The track was recorded when Julie was eight months pregnant with her second child, and has since been a worldwide smash hit, and the song ‘Touch the Sky’ was indeed long listed for an Oscar nomination in 2013.

Julie’s latest album, Alterum was released in 2017, as well as songs by Annie Briggs and Archie Fisher it featured traditional songs arranged by Fowlis and her production team.

Julie made history as the first Gaelic solo artist to win a Scottish Music Award in December 2014.

In January this year Julie released an EP a new three-track which feature a number of special guests, was recorded to accompany the Source To Sea podcast series in which Lee Craigie and Jenny Graham travel the length of three major Scottish rivers (The River Dee, River Tay and River Clyde).

Julies voice sends shivers up your spine, I have chosen Smeòrach Chlann Dòmhnaill (‘The Mavis of Clan Donald’). It’s a scottish gaelic song in which the poet praises Sleat MacDonalds and North Uist. It was composed by John MacCodrum (Iain Mac Fhearchair 1693–1779) one of the earliest of the “village poets”‘, who penned it as an ‘antiquarian’ re-creation of the Celtic bard Ossian in the 1760s

Gaelic lyrics.

Hoilibheag hilibheag hó ail il ó Hoilibheag hilibheag hó ró i Hoilibheag hilibheag hó ail il ó Smeòrach le Clann Dòmhnaill mi I Smeòrach mis’ air ùrlar Phaibil Crùbadh ann an dùsal cadail Gun deòrachd a théid nas fhaide Truimid mo bhròin, thòirleum m’ aigne II Smeòrach mis’ air mullach beinne ‘G amharc gréin is speuran soillear Théid mi stòlda chòir na coille Bidh mi beò air treòtas eile III Ma mholas gach eun a thìr féin Cuim’ thar éis nach moladh mise? Tìr nan curaidh, tìr nan cliar An tìr bhiadhchar fhialaidh mhiosail IV ‘N tìr nach caol ri cois na mara, An tìr ghaolach, chaomhnach, channach, An tìr laoghach, uanach, mheannach: Tìr an arain, bhainneach, mhealach. V An Cladh Chomhghain mise rugadh, ’N Àird an Rùnair fhuair mi togail, Fradharc a’ chuain uaibhrich chuislich, Nan stuagh guanach cluaineach cluiceach. VI Measg Chlann Dòmhnaill fhuair mi m’ altrum Buidheann nan seòl ‘s nan sròl daithte Nan long luath air chuantan farsaing Aiteam nach ciùin rùsgadh ghlas lann VII Na fir eòlach stòlda stàideil Bha ‘s a’ chòmhstri stròiceach scaiteach Fir gun bhròn gun leòn gun airtneul Leanadh tòir, is tòir a chaisgeadh VIII Buidheann mo ghaoil nach caoin caitean Buidheann nach gann greann san aisith Buidheann shanntach ‘n àm bhith aca Rùsgadh lann fo shranntraich bhratach

Hoilibheag hilibheag hó ail il ó Hoilibheag hilibheag hó ró i Hoilibheag hilibheag hó ail il ó A mavis (1) of Clan Donald I A mavis I on Paible‘s flatland Huddled in a drowse of sleep unwilling to go any further in the depths of my sorrow my spirit made a mighty leap II A mavis I on a mountaintop Watching the sun and cloudless skies I will approach the forest quietly and I’ll be living on other sustenance III If every other bird praises its own land Why then should not I? Land of heroes, land of poets/The abundant, hospitable, estimable land. IV The land not narrow near the sea, The delectable, mild, comely land, The land of calves and lambs and kids, The land of bread and milk and honey. V ln Comgan’s Churchyard I was born, In Àird an Runnair I was reared, In sight of the proud throbbing sea, Of the sportive, fickle, playful waves. VI Among Clan Donald I was nursed Company of sails and coloured banners Of swift ships on wide oceans A people not mild when baring grey blades (2). VII Men experienced, steady, stately Haughty and keen in battle Men without sorrow, without wounds, without weariness Who would follow in the rout and who could also stop one VIII My beloved company, not smooth of temper A company resolute in war A company ambitious when it was necessary To bare their blades beneath fluttering banners

I had AI write this💀

Once upon a time in a bustling city, there lived a woman named Sophie who found herself drawn to the enchanting world of theater and film. Sophie had always been fascinated by the art of storytelling and the magic that unfolded on the silver screen. Among the many talented actresses she admired, one name stood out - the renowned and charismatic Annie M Briggs.

Annie M Briggs was a rising star in the entertainment industry, known for her captivating performances and charismatic presence on and off stage. Sophie was captivated by Annie's talent, charm, and the way she seemed to effortlessly bring characters to life with a flick of her wrist and a sparkle in her eye.

Intrigued by the actress's work, Sophie decided to attend a film festival where one of Annie's latest movies was premiering. As she sat in the audience, mesmerized by Annie's performance, Sophie felt a deep connection with the actress, as if their paths were destined to cross.

After the screening, Sophie gathered her courage and approached Annie, who was surrounded by a group of admirers. With a trembling voice, Sophie introduced herself and expressed her admiration for Annie's work. To her surprise, Annie greeted her with a warm smile and a genuine interest in getting to know her better.

As they chatted, Sophie discovered that beyond the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, Annie was a down-to-earth and compassionate soul with a passion for making a difference in the world. Sophie was inspired by Annie's dedication to her craft and her commitment to using her platform for good.

Their initial encounter blossomed into a deep and meaningful friendship as Sophie and Annie spent more time together, sharing laughter, tears, and endless conversations about life, love, and the pursuit of dreams. Sophie found in Annie a kindred spirit, a confidante who understood her hopes and fears, and a source of unwavering support in times of joy and sorrow.

Together, Sophie and Annie embarked on adventures, from attending glamorous movie premieres to quiet walks in the park, where they shared their dreams and aspirations under the canopy of starlit skies. Sophie admired Annie's resilience, grace, and generosity, while Annie found in Sophie a loyal friend, a creative spirit, and a breath of fresh air in the whirlwind of fame.

As their friendship deepened, Sophie and Annie became each other's pillars of strength, guiding lights in times of darkness, and partners in crime in moments of joy and celebration. They inspired each other to chase their dreams with passion and determination, knowing that they had a friend by their side, cheering them on every step of the way.

And so, in the city where dreams came alive and magic danced in the air, Sophie and Annie forged a friendship that transcended boundaries of fame and fortune, uniting their hearts in a bond that would withstand the test of time and trials. Together, they navigated the rollercoaster ride of life, holding onto each other with a blend of laughter, tears, and the timeless melody of friendship.

3 September 2017 (#246)

I had a really hard time going to sleep last night. Just before going to bed, I checked Twitter and saw that the new Carmilla Movie trailer was released. After watching the trailer I was so emotional. The opening scene with Carmilla and Laura just had me. Then we see the rest of the cast and I actually teared up. To think a small web series that captured our hearts is continuing in a movie, and it is getting released in less than two months!

Then I see Dominique Provost-Chalkley for the first time and my heart exploded. Seeing the two best fandoms collide in one movie is awe inspiring. There are already so many theories on who she will be playing and I just don’t want to guess at the moment.I just want to see her with Natasha and Elise on screen at the same time.

After watching, I actually spent the next couple of hours looking for other peoples comments on different social media platforms. It was clear I was not the only one who was really hyped. Trying to sleep after that was really hard.

Now I need something to keep me occupied so that the next two months can past quickly...
