Another distinctly 'west-coast', as you might expect, from Isles FM. The vocals are mostly in Gaelic and the music has a ceilidh flavour.
Some stand out performances from artists you may never have heard off. That's your loss, or perhaps it's the folk from the Western Isles keeping a few 'secrets' to themselves for their own listening pleasure.
Worth searching out.
