I just saw and heard (some of) a sublime version of Hallelujah performed by the Caledonian Canal Ceilidh Trail, on a BBC channel called Alba. Frustratingly, the broadcast cut the song off mid-flow, and the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD2J3zIoDGE Youtube version starts part way through. I'm now trying to stitch the two together with the inadequate needle of memory. The programme featured young musicians and singers so imbued with talent and passion that they actually glowed. If anyone can direct me to a link or recording of the full verison of this song, I'd be the giddiest kipper on my block.

Gaelic Hallelujah
The Ogre does what ogres can,
Deeds quite impossible for Man,
But one prize is beyond his reach:
The Ogre cannot master speech.

Indeed. Alas, no-one has yet come up with a full version of this rendition.
