Julie Fowlis was interviewed on Radio 4's Today this morning. She sings two songs - in English - in the new Disney Pixar cartoon Brave.

The soundtrack is in Dolby's immersive new sound format Atmos, as well as as in Dolby 3D. And she attended the premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood too.

And there was I thinking that in addition to her other splendid talents she'd taken up hazardous and community-spirited projects involving some personal courage, like saving kittens from trees, or mentioning Bellowhead on Mudcat ....

She's on Mike Harding's show this Wednesday talking about the new album which I believe ties in to the film, and is also on the most recent ProperCast (the weekly Proper Music podcast) talking about the same project.

I thought it was very brave of Pete Seeger to appear on the Colbert show last week.

What a truly wonderful talent she is, too. Good for her. Sounds like a fun project, and may get her a little main stream attention. Couldn't hurt. I played a show with her in Dallas, to about 50 people! Very surprising, but 'twas a great show.

On Wednesday, 27 September, First Minister Alex Salmond will arrive at Medinah in Illinois, to help push the Scottish marketing campaign to a worldwide TV audience, estimated at 600 million.

VisitScotland has also enlisted Julie Fowlis, the singer who features on the film soundtrack of Brave, and violin virtuoso Nicola Benedetti.

They will be performing at the closing ceremony on Sunday, where the handover will officially recognise Scotland as the Host Nation of The Ryder Cup in September 2014.

Ms Fowlis said: "Performing some of my favourite traditional material with Nicola will be a great experience and we're both really looking forward to playing live out in Chicago."
