Title: Glasgow is Burning
Post by: Palmie00 on August 22, 2012, 11:56AM
For those of you who have struggled to find this song's origins, I found this video of the group "Capercaillie" performing it.

Pretty awesome. I hope to hear an official version from Méav at some point. I think I may have read it would be recorded for her new show Divinas, but I'm not sure. I hope so.

Here's this video to the performance. It's actual title is "Alasdair Mhic Cholla Ghasda"

oh thank you for that! What a great song! And capercaille isn't that bad either actually! They actually have another song that is similar on a "celtic woman" "volume 2 " cd! very nice!

The group Clannad performed it too.  It's a very neat song.  It was on the setlist for Divinas, so hopefully we'll hear it before too horribly long. :)

This song is part of her solo concert recorded in New York 2007, right?

Awesome. Thanks for the information. I remember listening to the little clip of the NY concert and hoping it would be recorded.

Do you mean to say the whole concert?
