FolkPort - The Skye Boat Song | Studio Live 2021

No 7/7 | FolkPort Lockdown Sessions | 2020/2021:
A few songs recorded mostly live in studio with some video illustrations.
There were no concerts for a long time and we had great fun using some built up musical energy for something!

The Song:
The Skye Boat Song

Deeply rooted in Scottish history when Bonnie Prince Charles escaped on a ship to to the island of Skye dressed as a woman after a disastrous defeat at the battle of Culloden in 1746.

Inspired from a version that was the theme song to the television series Outlander.
