Beautiful. Barbary

Barbary Grant is a highly renowned vocalist and harper within Celtic communities. She sings and articulates fluently in all three Goidelic languages: Scots Gaelic, Irish, and Manx. This homage won her first place in the sean nós competition at the 1998 Great American Irish Fair. Sean nós – “old style” in Irish – is a highly ornamented style of a cappella singing.
