Thread Name: Robert Burns documentary recommendations
Subject: RE: Robert Burns documentary recommendations
Alba regularly repeats some programmes, just have to keep an eye open for them!
Robyn is one of the Glasgow Conservatoire (formerly RSAMD) Traditional Music graduates, qualified a few years ago. She used to attend Glasgow Ballad Workshop (now Glasgow Ballad Workshop 2020 - facebook page) as did a number of students being tutored by Gordeanna McCulloch and Anne Neilson.
I agree Robyn is an excellent example of how traditional and Scottish songs should be delivered - clearly, simply and from the heart!
(I really dislike the 'performers' whose egos are more important than the message, the history of the song.... )
