Thread Name: Capercaillie in Hampshire
Subject: RE: Capercaillie in Hampshire
Well as someone who actually lives in the Gaidhealtachd I can assure you that Capercaillie are not regarded a folk musicians by many people around here. It's nice to know that others like them, but I wish they could get a bit of the real Gaelic culture to compare it with. Bellowhead are in my opinion absolute crap, and bear as much relevance to folk clubs as shit does to butter. However that is my opinion and I don't mind if you or anybody else don't share it, it is after all a free world, and as they say 'If we all liked the same thing it would be boring'. Giok
