I spent my life passing exams. Each one led to the next until, at about 30 years of age... I finally passed the last one and realized that life was no-longer work and swatting, but that I had free time to focus on whatever I wanted. I decided to get some poems by heart, and Tam o' Shanter was the one I started with. I find Burns' meaning clear enough but, being English (sorry) I struggled with some of the pronunciation. This video has saved me. Now, when I get up on my hind legs on Burns' Night, my victims will hear something close to the original.
Thank you for such an absorbing performance.

Watched this performance on Saturday night. Absolutely brilliant recital. Karen Dunbar absolutely nailed it. By the end the hair on the back of neck was standing on end.

Brilliant reading of Tam o' Shanter. Thank You Karen. I'm sure the Bard, oor ain Rabbie would be proud. I am! ❤❤💯. Growing up in Ayrshire I'm a great Burns fan. He had a tremendous sense of humanity and love of nature. 👍👍

I went to Newmains Primary in Renfrew in the 70s.. I still remember the Minister from the big church on the High St
being at the school and reciting this and as he was describing Tam being chased by the witches he turned the chair around and galloped like he was riding Meg over the bridge.. wow that’s a 50 year old memory right there…

Superb, i was researching Cutty Sark, ended up here, i listened twice and go inspired to mark this day a little comment, Karen tone suits the poem perfectly, she carved out perfectly to my ear at least the wildness of this fabulous poem, i will visit again.
