Puirt-a-beul (pronounced poorsht-uh-bee-uhl), or “mouth music” as they are known in English, are generally defined as a Gaelic vocal song genre sung to accompany dance in the absence of instruments.

MacDonald’s book is long out of print in any case, and the new Puirt-à-Beul should be a matter of great satisfaction to singers and instrumentalists alike.' Morag MacLeod That is only a hint of the treasures that Dr Lamb has culled from books and manuscripts from many centuries and places. The book contains not only every word and note that was in the original, in a pleasanter format, but the texts are translated into English, and the names of the tunes are given as titles known to instrumentalists. Will Lamb begins with an excellent definition of the genre, giving Puirt their proper place as art at long last. Reviews: ‘outstanding of the first importance in the study of Scottish music and social history’ (Scottish Gaelic Studies), ‘a major contribution’ (Cothrom), ‘enormous added value’ (The Scotsman), ‘imaginative and thorough’ (Scottish Studies) 'This newest edition of Puirt-à-Beul renews our insight into the musical form and expressive voice of Gaelic Scotland' (Julie Fowlis) 'One wonders what Dr Keith Norman MacDonald would make of this elegant edition of the book that he produced around 1901? Its subject-matter was rare in his own time, and we must not expect so much of someone who did not have the resources and knowledge that we now have.
