If you can't find an appropriate Burns night supper, with haggis, neeps and tatties ....

Moira Craig, and Alan and Carole Prior, are the guests booked at the Cellar folk club in London on 25 January. Sheila Miller's publicity says "Three excellent Scottish singers*. All three sing traditional, contemporary and some comic songs (though, actually, not much Burns); there will be no haggis."

*they are - and Moira has toured in the US, after impressing Jerry Epstein. Alan is one of the best singers I've ever heard, and Carole does a mean version of the Star of the Bar.

The venue is the Cock Tavern, 23 Phoenix Road, London NW1
1HB (on the corner of Chalton Street, near King's Cross and Euston
stations).

Because of the licensing problems in England over live music in pubs etc, to attend this club, you must either be a member of the Cellar club, any other folk club, the EFDSS or the TMSA, or come in with a member as his/her guest. Membership is free but you need to give 2 days notice, so PM me if you think you might want to come along.

It was alleged on a BBC radio programme this morning that haggis is illegal in the US. Is this true? How do Scottish Americans celebrate Burns Night?
