Search - Flora MacNeill :: Orain Floraidh

One of the first albums Temple Records Robin Morton produced when he came to Scotland in 1970 was of Flora MacNeil (Craobh Nan Ubhal - originally for Tangent Records and later re-released on Temple). She was then, and still is, a truly great singer. This latest recording (released in 2000) shows why she is, at the start of a new century, the great lady of Gaelic song. Gaelic song has recently become fashionable in a wave of interest in so called Celtic music. Floras singing was there before any passing trend, and her majestic presentation of her timeless tradition gives us a certainty beyond any fashion.
