it's a shame there's only a few, maybe 10 people listening live in the audience, this was a performance for 10,000 people. Beautiful!

You are correct, but with due consideration, the masks show it was during the Covid pandemic when few people were out.

Covid sucked!
Many years ago, when walking long distance in Belgium, with a girlfriend, I passed two men walking in kilts and with silent bagpipes. When passing I asked: The Sky Boat Song, please? It took some time after, but then I heard the sad base pipes starting and then this beautiful tune. But Bonny Prince Charles sadly died in Rome, very poor and never, ever came back to Scotland!
Really stirs up my Scottish roots. Family came from Glasgow and Lewis in the early 1800's. Apollo's Fire - Great!
This is an absolutely gorgeous arrangement of the Skye Boat Song, and I'd love to hear Amanda sing the version which moves me most: "Speed bonny boat / like a bird on the wing, / 'Onward' the sailors cry..."

Yes, some of the lyrics here sound like they are adapted from the Outlander version.

@@annmccarthy177 Other way around actually, these lyrics were penned by Robert Louis Stevenson, who apparently wasn't impressed with the original lyrics. The Outlander version was adapted from the RLS version.

And as an 'what do you say a man who loves also the music ?
This is amazing. Whole performance deserve a world class award!❤
What an amazing voice
Well done lads and lassies! A beautiful performance which I will enjoy watching time and again. I appreciated the spoken words from both Ms. Sorrell and Ms. Powel in prelude to a familiar tune popularized by Outlander (my favorite show) to the full lyrical version of the versus. Ms. Powell's vocal abilities are top=notch in clarity and vocal technique. The instrument ensemble was sublime - not to mention the venue was as beautiful as the performance. Thank you for sharing this with us here.
Beautiful rendition of the song , also i note this video was put on KZread on the 275th Anniversary of the Battle of Culloden . Duncan frae Bonnie Scotland .
If the Bonnie Prince was called "British" in his lifetime, he would have had such a fit! Bonne Prince Charlie was a Scottish Catholic to his dying day!

Aye, Bonnie Prince Charlie was 100% Scottish and 0% British. Long Live Scottish Catholics!!!
Exquisite music! What a beautiful voice! Brava & Bravo!
The last note, hanging in the air, engulfed by the stillness, is so haunting and plaintive that it pierces the soul. Perfect.

Great song and artists! The original lyrics would have have been enchanting!
Just beautiful...the music tugs at the heartstrings...creates a yearning for something unknown
The collaborations between Amanda Powell and Apollo’sBaroque are the best!
Oh, I am speechless.. Everything in this stage is heavenly beautiful.
These musicians are so great...Love you folks...Especially the lead vocalist.
This was used as the opening music for the series “Outlander”.
So very beautiful. Makes me ache to know my ancestors.
A great rendition of a great song by a great beauty. Band was great too. My day's highlight.
Amazing song, amazing performance
I can't be the only one here after watching Outlander.🥰
The most beautiful, most heartfelt version of this song that I've ever heard.
Absolutely stellar!! Perfecto!
Beautiful! It looks to me like most of the audience were taking the COVID-19 pandemic quite seriously - and therefore they didn't show up!!
Chillingly awesome. Stunning!
Very moving version of the song. Thank you
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Powerfully bittersweet. Marvelous performance!
I'm from Cleveland - and that makes this video even more beautiful. Thank you.
What a VOICE!
This is just incredible. I am speechless and in awe of the wonderful job everyone did to put this together. Thank you for this gem.
I wish this performance had the original lyrics. It is so beautifully sung.
So moving.
The best rendition ever of this moving song. Compliments to Amanda and to all the amazing Apollo's Fire group!!!

Wonderful!! Mystical, enchanting and soothing.
Stunning rendition. I could listen again and again. What a beautiful voice. Can’t beat a bagpipe though which would have brought tears to my eyes. Which this song does anyway. I hope it encourages people to investigate the history of the song ☺️ well done Amanda

Waoooo!!! Qué hermoso👏👏👏
Inenarrável 💕
melodic!
I hear Amanda Powell singing many songs
Absolutely gorgeous. I've been searching for these lyrics, I find them more touching than the "original". Each artist did an outstanding job
Nice! ty
When I was a kid (about 1960) I read a children's novel about Prince Charlie. Then I learned this song. Even though I have no genetic connection to Scotland, this song has followed me through my life
So many heart-rendingly beautiful songs came out of this tragic and hopeless rebellion. I could never support the rebellion itself. Fighting to maintain a cruel and outdated feudal system that had been rejected by the rest of England and Scotland a hundred or more years earlier.
❤Beautiful❤
