| Julie a' buannachadh Seinneadair Folk na Bliadhna 2008 / Julie wins Folk Singer of the Year 2008 |
Bha Julie air a dòigh glan a bhith aig duaisean cliùteach Duaisean Folk BBC Rèidio 2 air Oidhche Luain aig an Old Brewery ann an Lunnainn. B' e oidhche air leth a bha ann le daoine ainmeil gu leòr, agus deagh cheòl bho Lau, The Imagined Village, Rachel Unthank agus Winterset, Graham Coxen agus John McCusker, Martin Simpson, Kate Rusby, John Martyn, Seth Lakeman agus an fheadhainn a fhuair an duais airson a' chòmhlain òg a b' fheàrr, Last Orders. Bha Julie gu sònraichte toilichte an duais aice fhèin fhaighinn bhon t-seinneadair agus bhon sgrìobhaiche òrain Albannach KT Tunstall, agus bha spòrs gu leòr eatorra cuideachd. Tha Julie airson taing a thoirt dhan h-uile duine a tha air taic a thoirt dhi agus a tha ag obair còmhla rithe agus a tha a' cur taic ris a' cheòl a' chionn 's gu bheil iad deìgheil air agus gu bheil gaol aca ann - taing cuideachd dhan h-uile uine air cùl gnothaich nach fhaic duine eile, agus dhan luchd-ciùil leis a bheil i cho fortanach a bhith ag obair - John McCusker, Duncan Chisholm, Tony Byrne, Ross Martin, Martin O'Neill, Ewen Vernal agus gu h-àraid dhan duine aice Eamon airson...uill, a h-uile rud.
Tha an duais seo air a tabhainn dhaibhsan uile a bhios a' toirt seachad òrain, sgeulachdan, puirt agus craic - dhaibhsan nach fhaigh urram duaise gu bràth, ach gun na daoine sin cha bhiodh am beartas de chultar, a tha sinn cho fortanach a bhith againn, againn idir.

Julie was thrilled to be presented with this prestigious award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards on Monday night at the Old Brewery in London. It was an amazing night with celebs a-plenty, and great music from Lau, The Imagined Village, Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, Graham Coxon and John McCusker, Martin Simpson, Kate Rusby, John Martyn, Seth Lakeman and brilliant young award winning band Last Orders. Julie was especially delighted to receive her award from fellow Scot and songstress KT Tunstall, who was great company. You can see some great photos and clips from the night at the BBC website. Julie would like to thank all the folk who have given her a helping hand and work tirelessly and enthusiastically with her and who support the music because they love and believe in it - all the hard workers behind the scenes, and all the talented musicians who she is lucky enough to perform with - John McCusker, Duncan Chisholm, Tony Byrne, Ross Martin, Martin O'Neill, Ewen Vernal and especially her husband Eamon for...well everything.
The award is dedicated to all those who pass on the songs, the stories, the tunes and the craic - those who will never be recognised with an award, but without whom we would not have the wealth of culture that we are lucky to have. |

S e deireadh-seachdain air leth trang a th’ air a bhith ann le consairtean ann an Glaschu agus ann an Uibhist a Tuath gus an clàr ùr a chur air bhog. Chaidh a h-uile rud gu math agus bha spòrs agus fealla-dhà gu leòr ann. Bu thoil le Julie agus Eamon taing a thoirt dhan h-uile duine a thàinig a-mach gus taic a chur riutha! Feumar taing a thoirt dha na daoine a chuidich gus na consairtean a chur air dòigh – tha tuilleadh ’s a chòir agaibh ann, ach taing mhòr dhuibh uile, gu h-àraid do Rona agus do dh’Ùisdean. Rinn Julie & Eamon air Glaschu an uairsin far an robh iad a’ dèanamh clàradh airson pròiseact le Magaidh NicAonghais air a bheil “Òran na Mna”. ’S e pròiseact inntinneach a tha seo a tha a’ coimhead air buaidh nam boireannach ann an òrain Ghàidhlig. Bidh seo air a’ chraoladh nas fhaide air adhart air a’ bhliadhna. Am measg nam feadhainn eile a bha ann bha Màiri Nic a’ Ghobhainn, Karen NicMhathain, Flòraidh NicNèill, Alyth NicCarmaig, Màiri Mhoireasdan agus Kathleen NicAonghais.
Tha tòrr chuirmean eile a’ tighinn a-steach airson an t-samhraidh – innsidh sinn dhuibh mun dèidhinn cho luath agus as urrainn dhuinn.
Cuideachd – tha lèintean-t ùr "cuilidh" a-nis anns a’ bhùth! Nach coimhead thu orra, agus air na balaich chomasach a bhios gan dèanamh dhuinn aig Streak Clothing.
Barrachd ri thighinn ann an ùine nach bi fada...
It's been a busy weekend of launch concerts in Glasgow and North Uist. A great time was had by all, and Julie and Eamon would like to thank all the folk who came out and supported them! Thanks are also due to all the people who helped set up the launches - too many to mention everyone, but our sincere thanks to you all, especially Rona and Uisdean. Julie & Eamon headed to Glasgow then, where they filmed for a project by Maggie McInnes called "Oran na Mna". This is an interesting idea which explores the concept of the role of women in Gaelic song, which will be broadcast later in the year. Also involved were the lovely Mary Smith, Karen Matheson, Flora MacNeil, Alyth MacCormack, Mairi Morrison and Kathleen MacInnes.
Lots of dates coming in for the summer - we'll keep you informed as soon as we get the go ahead to announce them.
Also - new "cuilidh" t-shirts have been added to the store! Check them out, and the talented lads who produce them for us at Streak Clothing.
