Description As the UK's foremost Celtic band, they've been described by Billboard Magazine as the mosy vibrant and exciting band in Celtic music today.
Hailed as the finest Gaelic singer alive, vocalist Karen Matheson's pure and emotive voice so entranced Sean Connelly that he was moved to describe her as having a throat surely touched by God.
Capercaillie's masterful marriage of century's old Gaelic songs and the very latest in music technology has gathered them plaudits from arounf the world. Their tour of Australia last year was a sell out.
