Tattie Bogle Robbie Burns Day - 25 January (30) RE: Robbie Burns Day - 25 January 27 Jan 25


Dougie was actually doing another of his live-streamed concerts late afternoon on Saturday, on the theme of Burns: to get a "ticket" you had to apply through his website, then use some sort of electronic device to live-stream it. Just one of the HUNDREDS of concerts he has put out in this way since the start of lockdown - most of them free, but a few paid-for ones. I am in awe! But I digress slightly.
Alistair Heather - yes, he's the guy who has been doing the Scots/English announcing on the annual Scottish Trad Award shows, along with Mary-Ann Kennedy who does the Gaelic bit. I agree with Johnny J that his Scots pronunciation jars a bit, and rattles a few cages.
And the "Burns Night" programme shown on BBC Scotland and repeated on BBC 1 showed up how pop/rock singers do not necessarily do Burns songs well. But three cheers for Katie the piper! Could have heard more of her!
