In the Celtic folklore of Scotland and Ireland the Silkie figures a lot. A silkie or selkie is a seal who morphs into human form as a beautiful young woman …and vice versa…morphs back again! Here’s a Selkie song sung in the Scots Gallic and English by Julie Fowlis, accompanied by The Unthanks. - The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry.
Pretty sound.
Yes…I think so.
I know the tune well, just as I know about silkies. Gentle, calm music.
I’ve always loved Celtic music, as it is usually sung by people with amazingly beautiful voices. Really enjoyed this one Marje.
I’m glad Rhonda. It’s probably stirring up your Celtic blood !
@Marionville I think that may be part of it Marje! Even as a young child whenever I heard Celtic or any Irish music my ears would perk up.
@Redheadedgammy We have that in common. My parents had some 10" 78rpm records of Scottish dance music to which I spent many hours listening.
