29 Aug 03 - 05:02 PM (#1010432) Subject: RE: Ae fond kiss - recordings From: Jim McLean There must be a Kenneth McKellar recording out there somewhere. He is not classed as a 'folkie' but had the sweetest Scottish tenor voice. His singing of Burns, at his best, is unsurpassable. |

Bought it from Brian in person when he played at the club I ran in the mid 80s. If anyone wants the MP3, I'll rip it for you. I'm sure Brian wouldn't have minded had he still been with us... :o( |

30 Aug 03 - 12:29 AM (#1010621) Subject: RE: Ae fond kiss - recordings From: michaelr One of my favorite singers, Eddi Reader, just released "Ae Fond Kiss" as the title track of her new album of Burns songs. Eddi is from Glasgow, so she has the authentic sound as well as a gorgeous voice. You can hear a short clip here. (From her website) "Eddi says she has discovered in Burns something she believes has been overlooked in the approach to his work, and she believes that her interpretations of his poetry will reach more ears than have previously heard him." Being quite well known as a pop singer, she may well be right. Cheers, Michael |

30 Aug 03 - 01:01 PM (#1010804) Subject: RE: Ae fond kiss - recordings From: ard mhacha Robert Burns wrote "Aye fond kiss" in 1791, during his stay in Edinburgh Burns met Mrs Agnes M`Lehose in December 1787. Both fell in love but , they had frequent meetings, but marriage was out of the question. The couple kept in touch by correspondence, they parted in December 1791, never to meet again. Burns so eloquently captures the heartache of the parting in his poem. Ard Mhacha. |

21 Jun 11 - 02:57 PM (#3174053) Subject: RE: Ae fond kiss - recordings From: GUEST,leeneia Thanks for bringing this song up. I've found two good tunes for it, and I'll use them when playing flute. One tune is right in the DT. For those of us not from Scotland or the North of England, 'ae' means 'one' and rhymes with 'stay.' |
