Scottish folk song "The News from Moidart" performed by the renowned singer and musician Kenny Jamieson. This was part of his concert in the big top during the 2024 Inverness Highland Games on Saturday 13th July 2024, thanks to the team at MacGregors bar who organised the concerts.
Kenny (Bam Bam) Jamieson was born in Rhu and brought up in Dumbarton, where he started singing as a teenager in front of a campfire at Dumbarton Castle. He is the founding member of the hugely popular Scottish folk rock band 'Schiehallion' and with his rich and powerful voice has been a constant figure in the Inverness music scene since he moved there 30 years ago.
"Wha'll be King but Charlie?" also known as The News from Moidart, is a song about Bonnie Prince Charlie, sung to the tune of 'Tidy Woman', a traditional Irish jig. The original date is unclear but the tune was well known by 1745 and the lyrics were later written by Caroline Nairne (1766–1845).
