Karine Polwart

Read an article on her in Sunday mag. She has a new album coming out on Monday. I'll add her website link to this blog, check out her songs they're beautiful, and she has a sweet voice.

She likes Dick Gaughin, which is alright by me, he's one of my favourite Scottish singers. I saw him live for the first time a wee while ago, and he sang Westlin Winds, a Burn's song that I've loved forever. I really felt liked I'd died and gone to heaven that day.

I've not heard of Karine Polwart though I do like Dick Gaughan .... most everybody else I know, doesn't !

The album which features the words of Robbie Burns put to music is very, very good. I think I only had it on tape - you've reminded me that I ought to get it on CD.

Yes he does Burns really well, as does Eddi Reader.

I think DG is an acquired taste, but he digs out some amazing songs, he's Scotland's Billy Bragg, lol.
