Profoundly thankful for the band which you joined Bruce and without which my own life would be so much less the richer in so many ways. Last summer I found myself repeatedly playing 'Òran Ailein'. I realised it was a song of lament. We had recently experienced serious and dramatic illness of two of our own children and the wider family had lost a child..Thank you Bruce, together with the band, for singing this beautiful song. We've forgotten how to lament. Runrig showed me how. We now lament you. Ach mairidh ceòl is mairidh gaol.
