She performed it at Lomond Festival when she was in concert with the Macalmans. Great festival great concert. She is on at the Innerleithen Festival in a couple of weeks time and she will do it then. It is a competition to win support spot for Dougie Maclean. My money is on Angie to win it but then I am a bit biased. |

09 Aug 04 - 06:18 PM (#1243560) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: A Fond Kiss From: Malcolm Douglas There are two tunes. Burns originally set it to Rory Dall's Port, but it was later set to Hi Oro 'S Na Horo Eile and seems usually to be sung to that tune nowadays; probably most people learn the song from records rather than books. More details in thread Haunted by a song (second half). I don't think that the questioner intended a translation, but had just misunderstood the phrase; easily done in the circumstances. |

09 Aug 04 - 07:44 PM (#1243615) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: A Fond Kiss From: Tattie Bogle Remember it's ae as in capital A, not eye as someone I know was singing it! She was told by all assembled company how it should be pronounced. Sorry, but am I the only person who doesn't go along with Eddi Reader's interpretations of Burns songs? Sure, she's a fine singer, but there's just a bit too much note-changing and ornamentation for my liking. I had a ticket to go and see her in Celtic Connections in Glasgow 2 Januarys ago but was then defeated by horrendous weather, but I've since heard several of her interpretations. |
