These opening lines of translation follow in the wake of a bitter-sweet love song that has inspired two musicians from either end of its voyage to embark on a fascinating new journey of music, song and story.
Mo Ghille Dubh Dhonn (My Brown Haired Lad) is one of the great treasures of the Scottish Gaelic song tradition, recalling love lost and found as The Seedboat sailed from Barra to Newry. Now, some two centuries after its maiden voyage, the Seedboat sails again as Maggie MacInnes and Colum Sands invite all to find a seat amidst the cargo of Clarsach (harp), guitar and a bi lingual blend of songs old and new that explores the words and the tunes that have divided and joined the people of Ireland and Scotland for centuries.
