Subject: RE: Any Burns Night doings in UK? From: Peg Date: 31 Dec 02 - 01:09 PM thanks for the information! I will know closer to the date if I can attend. It sounds great. As for haggis being illegal...might have to do with the Mad Cow restrictions (which have no rhyme or reason to them). Thomas: no need to be jealous, yet. But I hope so, soon! peg |
Subject: RE: Any Burns Night doings in UK? From: Herga Kitty Date: 31 Dec 02 - 12:57 PM Peg 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? Kitty |

Subject: RE: Any Burns Night doings in UK? From: Peg Date: 31 Dec 02 - 11:52 AM why thanks, Thomas! :) Happy new year to you... Following one's heart; scary to contemplate sometimes. But then you go ahead and do it, and it's not so scary! (This happened yesterday) I guess the Burns Night discussion will draw more attention when we get closer to the date...any excuse to sing Burns songs is good for me. peg |

Subject: Any Burns Night doings in London area? From: Peg Date: 31 Dec 02 - 09:45 AM Hi all; I might stay on in Glastonbury for their Burns Supper, but as I have to be at a conference in West London the following day this may not be practical. Does anyone know of any Burns Nights events happening closer to London on the 25th? (or thereabouts?) BTW, I will be in the UK January 14th thru 27th, in London briefly and probably based in Glastonbury for the rest...maybe a trip to Wiltshire if I can... peg |
