Thread Name: Lady Nairne biography
Subject: RE: Lady Nairne biography
Thanks for the info, Jack: afraid I won't make the launch, but being a big fan of Lady Nairne's songs, the book will be on my birthday list (not far off now!) I did once go to a workshop run by Freeland Barbour of Lady Nairne's songs, which was very interesting. I picked up an old book, containing facsimiles of her songs, in the 2nd-hand bookshop in Innerleithen: we also used to sing some of her songs during the Innerleithen Music Festival weekend, which coincided fairly closely most years with her birthday.
