Scottish trad is alive and well! One example is this emerging talent from Glasgow by the name of Eddie Seaman. Equally stunning players join him in this happy tune called The Fiddle Bee. Seaman credits this as ” A wee tune by Fiddle player Madeleine Stewart.”

Once in a while this site highlights new talents or songs that captivate the imagination. And Flauth impress us with their gentler version of Toss the Feathers. Such a lovely blend of instruments and melody.
Most of the time a music video is to support a particular song. But once in a while, the visuals are as stunning as the song. This is the case of Colours by Elma Orkestra & Ryan Vail featuring Moya Brennan on vocals. There is creative synergy in this effort resulting to pleasurable listening experience. The music video follows a skateboarder as he travels everywhere.
Last month, Elma Orkestra posted an announcement on their Facebook page about the project where this song is taken from:
“So excited to announce that I’ve got a brand new album called Borders and it’s coming out in June!!! Borders is a collaborative album with the outstanding Ryan Vail and the first single from it features the incredible Moya Brennan – First Lady of Celtic Music
“‘Colours’ is the first track from the album and features Moya Brennan on vocals singing in both Irish and English. It’s an expansive track that bodes well for the album” – Nialler9

Just in from my email. A breezy folk track with awesome video. A song that’s going to be a folk radio/streaming favorite. Well done to Pagan Piper Project for coming up with this beautiful song taken from their album Phoenix. Check that out!

I love it when popular artists incorporate traditional styles in their repertoire. It is a great way to introduce ‘alternative music’ to mainstream ears and in the process, create dedicated fans. Like in the case of Trad band Beoga. I have heard of them a couple of years ago and I think they are amazing because they are experimental and also they don’t take themselves too seriously.
This performance is a testament to that alchemy. As you can see they really sound at home together.
Ed Sheeran has made an impact years ago when he got huge shares in YouTube. I was not surprised he has reached the heights of stardom that’s awarded to few but that’s how talent and hard work do to you in the end.
