Arthur Cormack - Ruith Na Gaoith

Select from currently available formats:

A former winner of the National Gold Medal for Gaelic singing, Arthur Cormack's talent for singing was in evidence from an early age, when his fine voice and clear delivery were already quite exceptional.

'Ruith Na Gaoith', his second album, was long awaited by his many admirers and further enhanced his reputation as one of the leading Gaelic singers of his generation.

"Gaels and folk fans will already be aware of the quality of Arthur Cormack's voice. It has mellowed but lost none of its freshness and his delivery is as relaxed and unaffected as ever."
INVERNESS COURIER

"Cormack's singing has a beautiful musical quality, his diction is impeccable with a richness of Skye sounds and one becomes caught up in whatever he is representing. Such is the earnestness and sincerity of his style"
