Hi folks, we have just returned from the fantastic Hebridean Celtic Festival 2010 - what a brilliant event, and we had a ball. A few tracks from our set are featured in a program about the Festival which was broadcast on Saturday night, but which is now available on iPlayer for a week. There will also be another program about the festival being broadcast next week on BBC ALBA. Here's the link!
Also check out the gorgeous neck piece I am wearing on the TV - designed especially for me by young, award winning designer and silversmith Amy C Mackay from the Highlands. I will be wearing her work all summer. Check her out - her website is http://amycmackay.com/
Great to meet so many friends - old and new - over by. Sad that it's over for another year! *sigh*
Big thanks to the fantastic team, crew and volunteers who make the festival such a joy.
Love, Julie x

hi..any news of touring again in the Berkshire area? excellent from start to finish, very moving, thanks.
tony, Fri 27 Aug, 2010
I found your excellent music through youtube of all places. I was looking for videos of Donal Lunny's bouzouki playing and came across a transatlantic session you did with him. Since then I've bought all three releases and I have to say you've gone from strength to strength. Sublime.
Chris Roberts, Fri 27 Aug, 2010
I was recently introduced to your art, and I have to say that you are my new personal favorite. I just wanted to let you know that I very much appreciate what you do and to keep up the excellent work.

Hi folks thanks for your kind messages! Currently, I play several types of whistles onstage, made by a few different makers - Chris Abell, Cillian Ó Briain and Phil Hardy mainly...although I have been sent some gorgeous new ones recently which I hope will make their way into our set. The ones I get most questions about though are the dark wooden ones coupled with silver - these are the ones made by Chris Abell. He is at www.abellflute.com if you decide to get in touch tell him I say hi :-) Brian - I know the streaming clips are often unavailable in the US but I thought the TS CDs were avail
Julie, Sat 24 Jul, 2010
It's too bad everything from the Transatlantic sessions CD's to this iplayer clip are not accessible to fans of Julie here in the USA. The CD's are in a format not supported in N. America, and appearently streaming iplayer video of her in America is some sort of violation :(
Brian Maskell, Fri 23 Jul, 2010
Hello Julie, saw you recently at Bromsgrove. Easily the best thing I've ever seen. And great for you all to find the time to talk to us afterwards, even with both hands full! You've inspired me to take up the whistle (again!)and I'd also love to know what whistles you play. Best wishes, Wayne
Wayne, Fri 23 Jul, 2010
Julie! I saw your set at the HebCelt: it was brilliant. I saw you two years ago supportin Runrig at Edinburgh Castle. This was my first HebCelt-festival, but certainly not my last. What a wonderful happening.

I was lucky enough to witness Julie and her band give a trancendent performance at the Brosellas Festival in Brussels on 10 July, with a warm crowd on a hot and humid evening. Fortunately the rain held off until the final tune. Your enchanting music washed away all my cares! Heartfelt thanks! - Ben

Thanks for a superb evening at The Sage, really loved the Breton song. What happened to the smallpipes? Maybe next time then - come back soon!

Excellent concert at the Union Chapel last night. A beautiful setting and the great accoutics helped showcase Julies lovely voice. The band were wonderful too. Looking forward to seeing you again at the Cambridge Folk festival.

Absolutely loved your concert at Southwell last night, but puzzled why your CD's are so much more expensive on the night than on your website.

Hi Julie,
I recently sent a message saying my wife Gill & I are looking forward to coming to Steornabhagh to see you and Runrig at the Hebceltfest. I was wondering, are you doing any album signings after the show - if you are I'll make sure I bring Uam with me!
Tioraidh!

Hi Julie. We really enjoyed our evening with you in Bromsgrove yesterday. A real treat after listening to you in the car on our recent tour of the north-west highlands. Sorry not to meet you afterwards but glimpsed you with your arms full! Good luck with the rest of the tour.
John and Margaret, Fri 11 Jun, 2010
Saw you're doing some shows in Alberta in the fall. Hope you won't forget us in the US. Maybe you can make it to Chicago or (better yet) Milwaukee or Madison. You were my favorite show of 2009, especially your bagpiping! If you're planning a bigger tour, there are plenty of venues that should love to have you.
neil, Fri 11 Jun, 2010
Saw you in Buxton just. You said you were nervous as it was your first time out for a while - I have to say, It didn't show. It was excellent, and a nice surprise to see Mr Chisholm with you.
PS: can you book Aros sometime middle two weeks of September 'cos we'll be on Skye then...
