Caledonia – Rapalje @ Folk im Schlosshof 2009

The “Folk im Schlosshof Festival” took place in Bonfeld twelve years long, onetime a year, usually in June.

Video: “Never Mind the Strangers” at Maceal’s

In our second video we are playing my favourite Rapalje song at my house

The next song is from our first album we ever recorded.

And we performed it a bit different: Dieb played the accordeon. I played on the gitouki and mouth organ. It changed a bit. Now we have David, playing the flute. Or the tin-whistle

And we want to sing this song for you because it’s my personal favourite. It’s kind of the glue that held or binds us together for the past 21 years:

It takes two to get together. It takes time to make it last. Never mind the strangers

Video: David (Scotland) the Brave!

“Scotland the Brave” (Scottish Gaelic: Alba an Aigh)

is a patriotic Scottish folk song and one of the main contenders to be considered as a national anthem of Scotland. In June 2006, the song came second to Flower of Scotland in an online poll with more than 10,000 votes to determine the nation’s favourite unofficial “anthem”. The song is used to represent Scotland in the Commonwealth Games.
