“Programme - Hebridean Celtic Festival on iPlayer”

A' chàirdean, tha sinn air tilleadh bho na h-eileanan siar!  Cḥrd an Fhèis glan riunn uile.  Tha pṛgram air Fèis Cheilteach Innse Gall 2010 ri fhaighinn a-neisd air iPlayer.  Tha pṛgram eile gu bhith air BBC ALBA cuideachd an ath-sheachdain.

Hi folks, we have just returned from the fantastic Hebridean Celtic Festival 2010 - what a brilliant event, and we had a ball.  A few tracks from our set are featured in a program about the Festival which was broadcast on Saturday night, but which is now available on iPlayer for a week.  There will also be another program about the festival being broadcast next week on BBC ALBA.  Here's the link!

Also check out the gorgeous neck piece I am wearing on the TV - designed especially for me by young, award winning designer and silversmith Amy C Mackay from the Highlands.  I will be wearing her work all summer.  Check her out - her website is http://amycmackay.com/
Great to meet so many friends - old and new - over by.  Sad that it's over for another year!  *sigh*

Big thanks to the fantastic team, crew and volunteers who make the festival such a joy. 

Love, Julie x

Hi folks thanks for your kind messages! Currently, I play several types of whistles onstage, made by a few different makers - Chris Abell, Cillian Ó Briain and Phil Hardy mainly...although I have been sent some gorgeous new ones recently which I hope will make their way into our set. The ones I get most questions about though are the dark wooden ones coupled with silver - these are the ones made by Chris Abell. He is at www.abellflute.com if you decide to get in touch tell him I say hi :-) Brian - I know the streaming clips are often unavailable in the US but I thought the TS CDs were avail

It's too bad everything from the Transatlantic sessions CD's to this iplayer clip are not accessible to fans of Julie here in the USA. The CD's are in a format not supported in N. America, and appearently streaming iplayer video of her in America is some sort of violation :(

Hello Julie, saw you recently at Bromsgrove. Easily the best thing I've ever seen. And great for you all to find the time to talk to us afterwards, even with both hands full! You've inspired me to take up the whistle (again!)and I'd also love to know what whistles you play. Best wishes, Wayne

Julie! I saw your set at the HebCelt: it was brilliant. I saw you two years ago supportin Runrig at Edinburgh Castle. This was my first HebCelt-festival, but certainly not my last. What a wonderful happening.
Moran taing!
