My mum used to make me things when I was a kid, but I always wanted to be Sinbad, Robin Hood or Davy Crocket.<br /><br />Karen Mattheson is another one with a voice to send you off somewhere else, especially when she sings in the Gaelic. And I thought Rob Roy a far superior film to the more celebrated Braveheart.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069822009799120415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-49177848533979928742010-06-25T00:58:48.304+08:002010-06-25T00:58:48.304+08:00This is a beautiful song and I imagine standing on...This is a beautiful song and I imagine standing on a hill in Scotland when I listen to it!

Nadia, Capercaillie in concert would have been fantastic, 'Ailein Duinn' is one of the most gorgeous, heartbreaking songs...we used to sing it as a group, and it was lovely to sing as well. Valerianna, yes, it was Mark Knopfler, he also did the music to 'Local Hero' which was set in Scotland. Have you seen 'Cal'?

Lovely song to end my Solstice eve... <br />Just in from a wonderful ritual fire.

I saw them when they toured around australia years ago now. They were amazing.
