Rachel Walker: Guestbook

Jutta Bromm

Hi Rachel, I just bought your first CD at the Runrig Shop and it is really wonderful! Great voice of course and a beautiful selection of songs. It’s a great Variety of the kind of songs (sad, cheeky, Jigs and Reels, traditionals…) and of the accompanying instruments, sometimes just your voice, sometimes the wonderful piano and sometimes the great guitar, it’s just lovely to listen! Sorry, I cannot express myself better in English, but in short in means: you’ve got a new Fan:-) ! I try to come to a concert to Scotland to see you live, soon!
Many greetings from Germany, Jutta

I thought your sound was amazing and thought yous equally supported Runrig as I enjoyed the evening massivly!!! I also love the fact yous do all your stuff in Gaelic! It brings out the lovely feeling about svcotland. Can't believe I hadn't heard of yous before as have been living in Edinburgh and Oban for the last 3 years!!! When am back in Oban next summer I hope you will be playing there!!!

Saw (and heard) you for the first time at The Forum on Nov. 28th. Stunning! Even my 14 year old daughter, who has minimal Gaelic, loved your set.
Your delivery, & the depth of feeling you brought to all the songs were superb.
Your CDs have gone straight on to my Christmas list!

Dear Rachel, you remind me of Colin R. sister at Skye. Good site, strong work. Working to get ready for model banjo sessions here near Abbington, Va. No road travel. But you are a good excuse to come back to Scotland for awhile. I need at long, good rest and to look at woolie pups. Dave x You do have a voice to die for.

I got an invitation to join myspace by a Rachel Walker this morning. I'm not sure if it's you since we've never met and I don't have a myspace acct. However, I am a musician and thought I'd atleast say hello and tell you how beautiful your voice is. A good friend of mine originally from the U.S. now lives in Scotland with her husband, pianist Steven Osborne. Perhaps you know Jeannie and Steven? In any case, looking at your website this morning was a nice diversion.

Sincerely,

Julie (timpanist and percussionist)

Hi,

I'm listening to your debut CD on cdbaby.com. Despite the fact that I don't have the faintest idea what the words mean, I'm really enjoying it. I love your voice. Are there English translations provided with your debut CD? I'll probably buy it anyway, but having translations would be a plus. -Thanks, Rhonda

Hello Rachel, I really enjoyed hearing you in Take the Floor here at Strathpeffer Pavilion recently, and have just heard it all over again using Radio Scotland's "Listen Again" feature - brilliant, thank you!

I saw you on a segment of "Oran Na Baird" singing Seinn mi an Fonn InverAsdal Nam Buadh. It was great. Am I to assume that Iain Cameron wrote it?

Opening with Oran Chalum Sgaire the song you sang during our wedding made a wonderful evening extra special. It was a brilliant concert at Glenuig with a range of beautiful songs which sounded even better live than on CD. Archie and Ross were excellent too - just wish I could make it to all the venues.
Good luck with the rest of the tour.
