She sings in Scottish Gaelic and spendsher time touring around the world bringing ancient songs form the HebrideanIslands to new audiences. She is an accomplished musician as well – playingHighland bagpipes, smallpipes, whistles, oboe & cor anglais and threewaltzes on the one row melodeon.Recently Julie has delved a little into broadcasting, and has had theopportunity to present two flagship music programmes on BBC Scotland – thetraditional music programme “Travelling Folk” and the world music show”Global Gathering”.
