HEBRIDEAN singer Julie Fowlis, who travels the world to perform in Europe and the US but sings only in Gaelic, was named the first Gaelic Ambassador of the Year yesterday.
Fowlis, from North Uist, claims fans like Scottish singer KT Tunstall and comedian Ricky Gervais. The BBC's Folk Singer of the Year in 2008, she plays instruments from the Highland bagpipes to the oboe. Announcing the award, the culture minister, Linda Fabiani, said Fowlis took "her own brand of wonderful singing and songwriting to audiences all over the world".

I love her singing- and the gaelic sounds and meanings of her songs make much of pop sound the pits.

I agree with what has been said above, Julie is a great Gaelic singer, writer and musician.
