The Seedboat (Bàta an t-Sìl) with Maggie MacInnes and Colum Sands. "The Seedboat sails from Barra shore, young Donald's gone to Newry. And though he swears a swift return, `til then she'll miss him dearly." Lines taken from a beautiful bitter-sweet Scottish Gaelic love song.This song has inspired these two musicians, both extremely highly regarded exponents of their respective traditions, to recall an historic voyage between their homelands with a bi-lingual treasure trove of song and story, old and new, in celebration of the musical bridges between Ireland and Scotland.
