Fonn: The Campbells of Greepe *
Music and a Sense of Place in a Gaelic Family Song Tradition
The Whittaker Library acquired a copy of Kenna Campbell's family CD, Fonn, a couple of months ago, so we warmly welcome the publication of the accompanying book, published by Acair. It's big and beautiful, has bi-lingual narrative about the family and their immersion in Gaelic music, and has lots of songs with their tunes, the Gaelic texts and English translations, not to mention contextual notes. And the CD appears at the back.
So lovely is this that we're ordering a copy for our shelves straight away. Watch this space!
* Greepe is in a remote corner of the Hebridean island of Skye.
