Brendy - It can?? :0

And back on the subject...have to disagree with you there...I can't see how delivering some songs in another language is going to help you to get fluent in speaking it. I'm not going to get fluent, unless I live there, which isn't practical. And I'm not wanting to develop a whole big repertoire of gaelic songs, I'm just learning a very small number as well as I can.

It's mostly been non-gaelic speakers responding so far, as far as I can tell - would be interesting to hear from some more gaelic speakers/singers (though perhaps they gravitate more towards forums (fora??) in the language...)

Guest RWM - does the Frank Harte version of I am stretched differ then from that sung by Seonaid O'Connor, Kate Rusby, etc?
