PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
Rún: the Forestbrook Gaelic Choir, collect and arrange old folk songs written in the ancient language of Erin. So far, thanks to Nora from Donegal, they have a nice wee collection of well-known ditties and are now adding to their repertoire with some unusual old forgotten songs from the province of Ulster. Rún are five fantastic lassies who perform four-part vocal arrangements of old Gaelic songs like 'An Cailín Rua' (the red-haired girl), 'Casadh an tSúgain' (twisting the hayrope) and 'Bo Na Leath Adhairce' (the one-horned cow). Rún is the Gaelic word for 'secret, wish or love' (cf. rune).
