This music video came out months ago while the world was still deep in the pandemic. Now we have the Russia and Ukraine war. And although I am not the type who posts political content, I want to say that the situation is getting worse. After one problem, there’s another one, all because of greed, hubris and people not learning from history.
To appreciate this type of music that I talk about, one must understand history. History has taught us that it repeats itself. History has shown us that leaders fall because of hubris. I created this blog after a crash course in Celtic history. It’s remarkable what you can learn when you pick up a book. The book will take you anywhere…maybe to a series of books, movies, and albums you need to hear.

I interviewed Calum Stewart way back. It was a happier time, and I was also a different person. I loved writing and asking artists about their craft and creative habits. So it was a pleasure to have that interview featuring Scottish traditional music.

Now, he is going places and has collaborated with different bands and artists. You can tell a superstar when you talk to one. This video is a testament to that. After seeing his post on my feed regarding the recent “Saerim” session on BBC Alba, I also wrote this. Unfortunately, I cannot watch the whole episode on iPlayer because I don’t live in the UK. I was fortunate enough to find this recent upload on his channel, even though this is ten months old.
