Audience members have been asking about the origin of the word Halali. Our friend Duncan MackIntosh (who gave us the name) offers this definition:
a) An ancient exclamation of worship of the god Jeho (later lengthened
by scholars to Halaliya and Jehovah)
b) A frequent Chinese expression of greeting, since Li is the most
common surname in the world
c) A small island in the South Pacific.Answer c)
Nobody knows quite when. But a fertile group of Celts were
shipwrecked on this island many generations ago, bringing with them
their instruments and often weird music.
