'Beltane' by Ailie Robertson played by Becky James

For May Day, I would like to share a beautiful tune composed by harpist Ailie Robertson called 'Beltane'.

I only started learning it 2 days ago so it's not perfect yet, but I love this music!

I'd hoped to make a little video in time for May Day but lost courage thinking it wasn't good enough and millions of other reasons. Thank you to my lovely friend Najiba for making me do it when she popped round for a visit earlier this evening. I was a bit nervous!

On her website, Ailie Robertson says "I wrote this tune to celebrate the Celtic Festival of Beltane. Beltane (Là Bealltainn) is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on 1 May, or about halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals—along with Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh."
