Most of the live Burns celebrations that I was aware of around here have been either cancelled or postponed, but no shortage of online events.
Last night and this afternoon there was a combined event hosted by Howth Singing Circle, near Dublin, Edinburgh Folk Club and singing club The World’s Room. And there were other online events last night with Siobhan Miller, and Dougie Maclean.
This evening, I have just finished on a Zoom Burns Supper hosted by Lynn Noel in Boston, Mass. Fortunately they chose to have it at 2-5pm EST, so that we, on this side of the pond, didn’t have to stay up half the night!
Now just need something for Tuesday evening!
And one club has postponed their live event until July - to coincide with Burns’ date of death!
