Thread Name: Any Burns Night doings in UK?
Subject: RE: Any Burns Night doings in UK?
I used to go to the Kelso Burns Club "Burns Supper" and the Kelso one is like Tattie Bogle suggests men only. I gave up going to that several years ago as we now have a wine club one as well as our folk club one. Two is enough and both of these are less formal than the Burns Club. I'm organising the Folk Club one and we do normally have an Immortal Memory; the toast to and reply from the lassies; the address to the haggis; and a rendition of Tam O'Shanter. As long as we can get folks to do them all that is. Various club members do a couple of songs each. The only stipulation I made was that the songs/tunes need to be associated with Burns - even if it is a parody. However still getting folks wanting to do Annie Laurie, Loch Lomond etc.
