it's a shame there's only a few, maybe 10 people listening live in the audience, this was a performance for 10,000 people. Beautiful!

You are correct, but with due consideration, the masks show it was during the Covid pandemic when few people were out.

Many years ago, when walking long distance in Belgium, with a girlfriend, I passed two men walking in kilts and with silent bagpipes. When passing I asked: The Sky Boat Song, please? It took some time after, but then I heard the sad base pipes starting and then this beautiful tune. But Bonny Prince Charles sadly died in Rome, very poor and never, ever came back to Scotland!

This is an absolutely gorgeous arrangement of the Skye Boat Song, and I'd love to hear Amanda sing the version which moves me most: "Speed bonny boat / like a bird on the wing, / 'Onward' the sailors cry..."

Yes, some of the lyrics here sound like they are adapted from the Outlander version.

If the Bonnie Prince was called "British" in his lifetime, he would have had such a fit! Bonne Prince Charlie was a Scottish Catholic to his dying day!

Well done lads and lassies! A beautiful performance which I will enjoy watching time and again. I appreciated the spoken words from both Ms. Sorrell and Ms. Powel in prelude to a familiar tune popularized by Outlander (my favorite show) to the full lyrical version of the versus. Ms. Powell's vocal abilities are top=notch in clarity and vocal technique. The instrument ensemble was sublime - not to mention the venue was as beautiful as the performance. Thank you for sharing this with us here.

So many heart-rendingly beautiful songs came out of this tragic and hopeless rebellion. I could never support the rebellion itself. Fighting to maintain a cruel and outdated feudal system that had been rejected by the rest of England and Scotland a hundred or more years earlier.
