Robin Campbell - Music - Celtic Mashup
Robin Campbell’s Celtic Mashup are a 100% pure, high energy, blend of the best in Scottish and Irish music with jigs, reels and traditional songs of the Celts.
Robin Campbell – singer / guitarist – teller of a good yarn or two. Hearing Robin perform Scots-Irish folk songs opens up a door to a lineage of journeymen, rogues, poets, and the quiet heroism of everyday folk, always with the ‘Craic!’
With over 50 years making music, Robin’s journey spans from the early days in Glasgow with folk duo Lomond Folk, through to the present with Celtic Krystal & Celt

Skipinnish // Walking On The Waves [Official Music Video] (ORIGINAL)
It's been a strange old fortnight not being able to catch up directly with friends and relations. However, I have had my injection of Scottishness, which hopefully will see me through the winter until next time. A vaccine that never fails. You should try it 🤣.
This is a tune from one of my favourite Scottish groups, Skippinish, albeit their old line up. The song for me sums up my days walking the hills, glens, by the sea and on the machair with my best friend, chasing our heritage and Celtic history. Stay safe !

Even if you do not have the Gàidhlig this post I had to share. A beautiful song and video from Julie Fowlis
Òran an ròin / The song of the seal.
A traditional Gaelic song from the voice of the seal people or selkies. Creatures who were said to shed their seal skin and take on the human form at certain times of the year. Creatures who moved between the parallel worlds of sea and land, but never truly belonging to either. I learned this from the singing of the Rev William Matheson of North Uist/Edinburgh.
Sharing today this stunning piece of filming by Mike Guest Photography who says:
"The energy i get from the sea is hard to explain. I often feel like I'm part human part selkie the Scottish name for a seal.
I’ve been listing to this track on loop for days now and was humming it as I went into the water. There are so many parallels that relate to my life my work and the way i relate to the word. For now, i can't express it in any more words, but today's film is a reflection of that feeling for you”.
We hope you like it, please feel free to share widely and let us know what you think. Hope this brings you all a moment or two of calm.
Much love,
