Talitha MacKenzie - "Hoireann O (Waulking Song)

Waulking songs (Scots Gaelic: Òrain Luaidh) are Scottish folk songs, traditionally sung in the Gaelic language by women while fulling (waulking) cloth. This practice involved a group of women rhythmically beating newly woven tweed against a table or similar surface to soften it.

Simple, beat-driven songs were used to accompany the work.
A waulking session often begins with slow-paced songs, with the tempo increasing as the cloth becomes softer. As the singers work the cloth, they gradually shift it to the left so as to work it thoroughly. A tradition holds that moving the cloth anticlockwise is unlucky.



Capercaillie - "Puirt à beul/Snug in a Blanket"

The Scottish Gaelic term port à beul refers to "a tune from a mouth-specifically a cheerful tune-which in the plural becomes puirt à beul".
