BBC Radio Scotland - Travelling Folk, Julie Fowlis with a Dawn Chorus Special

Julie Fowlis presents a bird themed special.

Julie Fowlis presents a bird themed special for Dawn Chorus Day, including a chat with Inge Thomson about how birds have inspired her work

Birds have long been a source of inspiration for songwriters and tunesmiths, from their calls and how they fly, to the legends and lore they've inspired. In this Dawn Chorus Day special, Julie Fowlis dives into some of the best avian themed music the world of folk has to offer. From curlews to wrens, buzzards to swans, and hummingbirds to kingfishers.  Plus Inge Thomson stops by for a chat about how birds have inspired her work, and how they were a formative part of her life growing up on Fair Isle.
