All the ladies were phenomenal but, in my opinion, Robyn Stapleton was absolutely sublime. What an exquisite voice! Her singing would make the angels jealous. Reminded me of my dear Mum's soprano voice when I was a lad.

Ah, the incomparable Eddie Reader. Scotlands treasure. She has brought Burns's songs to so many for over 40 years.

I'm celebrating my first Burns Night on my own. A good dinner, some Cranachan for dessert and a dram of scotch. Eddi Reader is a treasure!

I was at the first Burns Supper in Moscow January 1974.
The Russian people were fantastic. They were fascinated in seeing a man in a kilt and the bare knees in such cold weather😊.
I had a welcoming and wonderful time and experience.
O how i still have a place in my heart for Ludmilla and respect for her late father.
"let us pray thay come it may.
That come it will for all that.
That man to man the world over,
Shall Brothers be for all that.

Indeed the Incomparable Poet Bard of Scotland, who stood by his lyrical literary most outstanding work for the Common Man. Blessed Be His Memory for Ever and Ever, He indeed Lives perennially not only in the souls and hearts of all Scots, but also in those of my People, the Transylvanian Romanians [''Ardellyans''], of whom a fair number have Scottish or indeed even more ancient Keltic origins going back further in time ... . The Noble Dunca family from originally the Maramures region comes to mind in this context, all descended from a Duncan McDuncan survivor of Culloden, whom I am proud to have as an Ancestor ... .

So good to be able to follow the lyrics as they're sung. Still so moving after all that time. Thank you very much for posting !

The woman who sang "Ca the yowes" is excellent. This was the highlight of the show for me. Her voice reminds me of the lovely Effie MacInnes from Take the High Road

[drrd]

"ae fond kiss" so much emotion in her voice.

[terrybrough]

Just absolute WOW. Just passing through right now...have to run...will be back to hear the rest this evening. Wow, absolutely, unbelievably beautiful...can't wait. Thank you SO very much. ♥ ♥ ♥ LATER: Just the kind of magical evening that is one-of-a-kind stunning. Uber-talented, rich and perfectly-restrained deliverance. Intricate and deeply emotional. Eddi Reader is off-the-charts beautiful here. And the "fiddler, " harpist, all...stunning. Lush renditions of such moving poetry. Humbly grateful...thank you.

Hey my ancestors on my maternal great grandfather's side are Tibbitts. My great grandmother's maiden name was Frances Tibbits. (Some relatives of a farther back branch here still spell it Tibbetts). We met a group of far off relatives from England once who had corresponded with my grandmother after she researched her genealogy and they'd come to her home in Georgia, USA for a visit.. There are pictures somewhere.

[patmaccafferty]

does anyone know who arranged the music for the night it just made a wonderful night

[KushaDwipa]

Can someone tell me who wrote this music for Bonnie Jean and Bonnie Dearie? Thanks in advance. I know Robert Burns wrote the lyrics.
