Over 36 feet tall and weighing more than 1/2 a ton.... Dàimh, The ultimate Scottish,Irish,Cape Breton,Californian group!
The charging pipe and fiddle led assault that has seen the 'Pirates of Puirt' rocking far and wide (and nominated for best group at last years trad music awards) is now joined by the amazing vocals of (mod gold medalist & Trad Music Awards; Gaelic Singer of the year nominee 2006) Calum Alex MacMillan from Lewis, adding the depth and power of gaelic song to an already phenomenal instrumental arsenal.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
haha, the fisher men friends lads!! what a blast we had at shetland... hope you all got home safe!! loads of photos coming soon... but first the ones from the sunday at the clickimin! cu soon warm lievehugsxx
Hello here, we have a new song called "The Vinland Saga", it's a test song (not definitive) We need some feedback for this test-version. It would surely be a great honour if you could comment the new song ( and of course the others^^) Cheers, Max from Pellon Pekko
P.S. : We know that the sound of the songs is bad, but it's before to go to studio ;)
