Last Year's Artistes

Postby Mary G » Thu Feb 09, 2006 12:54 am

Some of us were lucky enough to be at the Picture House MOKMF concert last year, where Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain impressed, as ever. It was also the first time for a lot of people to hear the wonderful Julie Fowlis, with a wee entourage, perform first that evening.

Julie has been wowing people up and down the country over the last year, with her great Gaelic singing and musicianship on pipes and whistles. This culminated in a terrific win at the Radio 2 Folk Awards on Monday, broadcast tonight.
You can read about it, and listen again here:

She has only just launched her solo career, and won the coveted "Horizon Award" for newcomers. According to this report, her performance at the event “won many new fans with her breathtaking set of Gaelic song and music". Lesley Garrett (yes, the opera singer) gave her the most amazing build-up and praise before presenting the award.

Proves - again - what quality acts come to the MOKMF each year. Good stuff!
