Julie Fowlis

Edinburgh Tradfest & The Soundhouse Organisation presents Julie Fowlis at the Assembly Rooms on Monday 13th May!

Julie Fowlis

About Julie Fowlis

With special guests: Laura Wilkie & Ian Carr

‘If snow could sing, it would sing like Julie Fowlis…’

…this is how the pure northern voice of Julie Fowlis was described by acclaimed nature writer Robert Macfarlane. Hailing from the Outer Hebrides and now based in the Highlands, this renowned artist, perhaps best known for her work with the Disney Pixar movie Brave, is widely heralded for championing traditional Gaelic.

Her music is deeply influenced by the Hebridean islands where she grew up and by the Highland landscapes where she now resides.

Enjoy the best of traditional Scottish vocals, backed by Fowlis’ vibrant band of some of Scotland’s finest instrumentalists.

This is the closing gig for this year’s Edinburgh Tradfest, a co-promotion with The Soundhouse Organisation.
