When fans of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns, suggested holding an annual dinner to mark his birthday, they probably didn't realise a) it would still be happening over 200 years later; and b) they got the wrong date. Yet, even though Burns was born on January 25th, the first ever Burns Supper was celebrated on January 29th, 1802, just a few years after the ‘Caledonian Bard's untimely death at 37. Burns had become an icon not just in Scotland but for literary fans across classes and nations. Known for his ability to weave the lives of ordinary people into rich, poetic tapestries, Burns appealed to everyone—from working-class Scots to Oxford scholars. His revolutionary politics, his embrace of Scottish dialect, and his relatable themes resonated far and wide, leading to widespread admiration. By the early 19th century, his reputation had transformed him into Scotland's answer to Shakespeare. But it also helps that you can turn recitals of his poetry into what is effectively a drinking game on a wet January evening… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how haggis, neeps, and tatties weren't *always* on the menu; explain how the ‘lasses' eventually came out of the kitchen; and discover the delightful hybrid events hosted in Vancouver, Canada, which blend Burns Night with Chinese New Year… Further Reading: • 'When is Burns Night?

S7 E2: Celebrating Robert Burns with Address to A Haggis In January, Tea Toast & Trivia celebrates the great Scottish poet and lyricist, Robert Burns. Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and celebrated worldwide, Burns is best known for his poetry written in the Scots language, with works such as “Auld Lang Syne,” “Address to a Haggis,” and “Tam O' Shanter.” His poetry reflects themes of love, nature, and Scotland's cultural heritage. Haggis holds a special place in Scotland's culinary and cultural heritage, embodying the spirit of an indomitable nation. This traditional dish, made primarily from sheep's offal mixed with oats and spices, reflects the resourcefulness and frugality that characterized Scottish life, particularly in rural areas. The deep connection between haggis and Scotland's identity is further solidified by its association with Robert Burns and his poem, “Address to a Haggis”. He praises the haggis as the “great chieftain o' the puddin' race,” suggesting that it is a dish worthy of honour and respect—much like the Scottish people themselves. Haggis has become synonymous with the festivities of Burns Suppers held worldwide each year on January 25th, where friends and families gather to commemorate Burns' life and works. The act of addressing and serving haggis during these events is steeped in tradition and serves as a joyous reminder of Scotland's vibrant culture. It encourages the sharing of stories, music, and camaraderie. Come join me to celebrate Robert Burns with his iconic “Address to a Haggis”! The vivid imagery and spirited language invite us to join in the festivities of a Burns Supper and pay tribute to the enduring legacy of Scotland's beloved national poet. Address to a Haggis Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,Great chieftain o' the puddin'-race!Aboon them a' ye tak your place,Painch, tripe, or thairm:Weel are ye wordy o' a graceAs lang's my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill,Your hurdies like a distant hill,Your pin wad help to mend a millIn time o' need,While thro' your pores the dews distilLike amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight,An' cut you up wi' ready slight,Trenching your gushing entrails bright,Like onie ditch;And then, O what a glorious sight,Warm-reekin', rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an' strive:Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyveAre bent like drums;The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,‘Bethankit' hums. Is there that owre his French ragoutOr olio that wad staw a sow,Or fricassee wad make her spewWi' perfect sconner,Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' viewOn sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash,As feckless as a wither'd rash,His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,His nieve a nit;Thro' bloody flood or field to dash,O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,The trembling earth resounds his tread.Clap in his walie nieve a blade,He'll make it whissle;An' legs an' arms, an' heads will sned,Like taps o' thrissle. Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,And dish them out their bill o' fare,Auld Scotland wants nae skinking wareThat jaups in luggies;But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,Gie her a Haggis Music by Epidemic Sound Auld Lang Syne (Traditional Version) by Traditional

We look at the farm that Roberts Father moved the family to, (Mount Oliphant), and whether it was a good decision.

Then we look at Roberts first poems - what were they about? Why did he start writing?...

Holy Willie's Prayer is a fabulous satirical poem. It's one of the best satirical poems ever written in the Scots tongue. It is all about the hypocrisy of the Church, and one person in particular. Willie Fisher was an elder of the kirk in Mauchline, and spied on people and then told the Church to punish them for their sins. He took a dislike to Gavin Hamilton and a feud started. This resulted in a court case which angered Robert Burns, who went on to use this incident as the basis for this poem. Gavin won the court case, with the help of another lawyer, Robert Aitken.The poem that this incident inspired is a work of art, and is performed at many Burns Suppers the world over.Robert also wrote Epitaph to Holy Willie and The Kirk's Alarm, two other poems about Willie Fisher.

What is a Burns Supper? I look at the classic Scottish Celebration, The Burns Supper. I ask what is is all about?, when did it start?  and why should I go to one? For the answers to these questions listen to this episode!Also, if you like Scotland, interesting food, (Haggis), enjoy a drink, and like a sing along - you will love a Burns Supper!!!

S6 E2: Celebrating Robert Burns with Address to A Haggis Robert Burns, also known as Rabbie Burns, was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. Burns is best known for his poetry written in the Scots language, with works such as “Auld Lang Syne,” “Address to a Haggis,” and “Tam O' Shanter.” His poetry often reflects themes of love, nature, and Scotland's cultural heritage. Robert Burns' influence on Scottish literature and culture is profound, and his work continues to be revered and celebrated through events like Burns Suppers, which are held annually around the world to commemorate his life and literary contribution. Haggis holds a significant place at a Burns Supper due to its historical and cultural connections to Robert Burns and Scotland. The traditional Scottish dish, immortalized in Burns' poem “Address to a Haggis,” is celebrated as a symbol of Scottish heritage and a tribute to the poet's legacy. Its inclusion in the supper reflects the deep appreciation for Burns' work and the rich tapestry of Scottish culture and traditions. The ritual of addressing and consuming the haggis is a poignant and festive way to honour the impact of Robert Burns on Scottish literature and identity. Come join me to celebrate Robert Burns with his iconic “Address to a Haggis”! The vivid imagery and spirited language invite us to join in the festivities of a Burns Supper and pay tribute to the enduring legacy of Scotland's beloved national poet.

This week on #ScotsinUs, we bring to you the first of a series of spotlights celebrating Robert Burns as we gear up to Burns Night. We are joined by Christopher Waddell, the Learning Manager of the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway, who tells us all about the Burns Cottage, history surrounding Burns, and the exciting events coming up at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. Also featuring a performance of Robert Burns' “My Love is Like a Red Red Rose” by Sophie Craig. #burnscottage #alloway The ASF will host our annual Burns Supper on Friday, January 19th 2024 at the University Club, NYC.

In this episode of Burns Banter we play some of Robert Burns songs and tunes. I have guests! on this weeks show we have the band 'Garbh Uisge'. We chat about songs such as 'A Fond Kiss', 'Auld Lang Syne' and 'Green Grow the Rashes'. Garbh Uisge treat us to some live performances and unfortunately I also sing.We hear some great burns waltz's and fast reels, talk about the stories behind the songs and generally have a good time. Tune in, listen and maybe even sing along with us ...Slange Var!!!

Willie Wastle, also known as 'Sic a wife Willie had' as a grotesquely funny poem / song about how unbelievably ugly Willie's wife is. Robert Burns wrote this poem in 1792 and he goes into comically hideous detail about this poor woman's appearance.   The actual reason, or inspiration behind Robert Burns writing 'Willie Wastle' has been lost to history, but two different thoughts remain. One is that it is cover for some political rant about an incident or argument that has been long forgotten. The other thought is its actually about a specific woman. If it is about a specific woman then she probably annoyed or angered Robert in some way and he has repaid that anger by ripping her apart in verse.Listen to this episode, hear the description of this unfortunate woman, (I explain all the Scots words so its easy to understand), and decide for yourself what the poem is actually about...Slange Var !

Auld Lang Syne is Robert Burns most famous song, and the second most sung song in the English language. Yet, most people have no idea what it means, or where it came from.In this episode I tell you where the lyrics for Auld Lang Syne came from, where the famous tune came from, and what the song is actually about! I explain all the difficult Scottish words so that you can finally understand this song that you have been singing for years.listen to this episode and never be confused again whilst singing Auld Lang Syne.I also explain why it is so popular.....PLEASE NOTE: I say in this episode that George Thomson published 'The Scots Musical Museum' , this is wrong, he published 'Select Scottish Airs', which Burns contributed heavily to. It was James Johnson who published 'The Scots Musical Museum'. He produced six volumes between 1787 and 1803. Robert Burns was the main contributor and virtual editor of the volumes until his death in 1796. Stephen Clarke was the musical editor.Cheers! Alastair

WARNING !!! - This Episode is probably better watched as a video. https://youtu.be/tXES21N-T9w?si=Lb5yL70GKXPYteFmIn this episode I travel to Dumfries and go on a whistle stop tour of the places Robert Burns lived, worked and socialised. Theses places include Robert Burns Grave, Robert Burns House, The Globe Inn and Ellisland Farm. I recite the poem 'My Love is like a Red Red Rose' in the very room that it was written in. I have the absolute pleasure of sitting in 'The Poets Chair' (THE chair Robert sat on and recited poetry in the Globe Inn) and I finish this episode with a visit to Ellisland Farm, where Robert wrote Tam O Shanter, The Wounded Hare, To Mary in Heaven and Auld Lang Syne.If you want to see / hear about the places around Dumfries that influenced Robert Burns, then this is the episode for you!

The Selkirk Grace is a well known and well used grace. It is used not only at Burns Suppers but at family gatherings, weddings, funerals, birthdays, etc...What is the Selkirk Grace? did Robert Burns write it? Listen to this episode to find out about this grace and its history. You will also hear about a few other grace's that Robert wrote and used.Listen, laugh, and possibly even learn with Alastair Turnbull and Burns Banter.Cheers!

'Willie Brew'd a Peck O' Maut' is one of Robert Burns best drinking songs.It was written by Robert Burns in August / September 1789 whilst staying with Willie Nicol at his lodgings just outside Moffat. Allan Masterton was also there and he wrote the music. This all happened over a few days during a 'Lads weekend' together. It is just a whole lot of fun rolled up in some great lyrics and sung to a joyous tune.Enjoy!

The 'Address to a Haggis' is one of the most recited pieces that Robert Burns ever created. It is a major part of every Burns Supper the world over, but sadly, very few people understand what is being said. Thankfully this episode of Burns Banter bursts through the old Scots language and explains whats going on in the Address. The language is explained, the images are made clear and I even tell you when and where the poem is believed to have been written. If you want to finally understand what is going on in 'Address to a Haggis' then this is the episode for you!Download it, listen to it, and you'll be ready for your next Burns Supper>Enjoy!

'To William Stewart' is a poem about a hangover. We have all at one time or another taken too much alcohol during a night out and suffered the inevitable hangover. But unlike us, who just sit there and endure the pain of the hangover, Robert Burns wrote a poem about it and sent it to his friend William Stewart. It was never meant to be published, it was just a bit of fun between two good friends. Luckily for us the poem was saved and we can enjoy it today.It was written in 1789 in the Brownhill Inn, which was Roberts local pub when he lived at Ellisland Farm. William Stewart was a very good friend of Robert Burns, probably one of his best friends.

Burns Banter episode 5 is all about the poem / song 'My Heart is in the Highlands'. This poem was written by Robert Burns in 1789 and shows his love of the Highlands of Scotland.Its an easy poem to read and understand, so if you have to recite a poem at a Burns Night then this might be the one for you!

What is a Birk? Where is Aberfeldy? and what was Robert Burns doing there?The answers to all of these questions, and more, is in this episode of Burns Banter. We look at the poem / song The Birks o' Aberfeldy, which was written in 1757 during Robert Burns tour of Scotland. We also look at the lasting effect this poem has had on the area of Aberfeldy.

A fond kiss is one of Robert Burns best known love songs. Why did Robert Burns write this song? who are the people in the song? why are they being forced apart? To find out the answers to these questions check out this episode 3 of Burns Banter, which is all about the story behind the song 'A Fond Kiss'. In this episode I read the original version of Ae fond Kiss ,(which includes a lot of old Scottish words), I also read a modern english version - which helps to you to get past the old Scots words and finally understand what is actually being said. I also give some information on what happened to the people in the song...If you want to understand more about Robert Burns, his poems, his songs and his life, then please subscribe to my podcast 'Burns Banter' - you won't be disappointed...

In this second episode of Burns Banter we look at the song Rigs o' Barley. This is a popular song written by Robert Burns and is about two people who meet in the fields at night and spend some intimate time together.  I give you information about the people in the song, who are they? why meet at night?.. I will read the original song, (which includes a lot of old Scottish words), and then read a modern english version so that you can understand what is being said.Fair warning!!! the themes in this song are quite adult. Tune into the episode if you want to find out who the people are, why they are meeting in the fields at night, what happened to them and lots more...

In this first ever episode of Burns Banter we look at Robert Burns first ever poem. What was it? who or what is it about? and the BIG question, why did he start writing poetry? What inspired him ? The answers to these questions, (and many more), are waiting for you, check it out...

Let's make it happen! 13:35 - “Loch Lomond” from Selcouth 16:27 - GREEN GROW THE RASHES I got a t-shirt at a Highland Games as a kid. It read, “Spock is a Scot.” I never understood that until I heard Scottish singer, Ed Miller, introduce “Green Grow the Rashes”. He joked, “I know a Scotsman who loved a woman so much. He almost told her.” The joke is that Scots are not very emotional. And yet, this song by Scotland's National Poet, Robert Burns, is one of the most beautiful, touching, and emotional songs ever written. There's naught but care on every hand, In every hour that passes, O! What signifies the life o' man, And 'twere not for the lasses O? * Green grow the rashes O! Green grow the rashes O! The sweetest hour that e'er I spent Were spent among the lasses O! The war'ly race may riches chase, And riches may soon fly them, O! And tho at last they catch them fast, Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, O! But gie me a cannie hour at e'en My arms about my dearie, O! And war'ly cares and worldly men, May all gae tapsalteerie, O! For you sae douce wha sneer at this, Ye're not but senseless asses, O! The wisest man the world e'er saw, He dearly loved the lasses, O! Auld Nature swears the lovely dears, Her noblest work she classes, O! Her apprentice hand she tried on man, And then she made the lasses, O! I don't remember who I learned this song from. But I've always been a hopeful romantic. I loved it. Brobdingnagian Bards performed it regularly even before we recorded it for our album, Real Men Wear Kilts. However, I do remember Royce Perry was an inspiration for recording that CD. Royce was the head of Clan Gunn in Texas. He was excited to have a Gunn singing Scottish songs for our clan. He was So very encouraging. I remember his gentle smile the most. It was very kind as he listened. It was us performing  this song that really made him happiest. So when I finally re-recorded it for Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. He was in my thoughts. Just read those lyrics and you'll understand. Well, if you understand basic Scots. Robert Burns was apparently quite a ladies' man. He said what was most important in life was spending time with a lady. The worldly man chases money. Money is fleeting and short lived. Just give me an hour with a woman. All the cares in the world will disappear. The last verse is my favorite. Nature did some great things. She even made man while she was an apprentice. But then she mastered the art and created women. How perfect! I don't play this song nearly enough these days since I have quite a few beautiful ballads. But it definitely stands out in my mind as being exceptional. It's also a great song to sing at your annual Burns Supper. These are fancy dinners that celebrate the poetry of Robert Burns. Read more about Robert Burns on Wikipedia. You can listen to it on my Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion album on Bandcamp. The CD is in my Mage Records Store from February 1-10. 22:20 - “Green Grow the Rashes” from Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion 26:34 - DOWNLOAD MY FREE EP You can download all of my songs in this show.

That's why I did some email clean up last week. If you're subscribed to my newsletter and regularly open an email. Then you're all good.

I thank you for that. 32:27 - READ. HAVE YOU HEARD OF BUZZ STOPS? This is cool. A bunch of bus shelters are converting their roofs to be green. They are filled with plants that attract pollinators, like bees. The idea began in The Netherlands and spread to Sweden, Denmark, and now the UK. The idea is to offer a new way to support these vulnerable insects. Plus, it makes the city a bit prettier. I've long thought that every the office buildings should have a garden on their rooftop to make the city more beautiful and to offer new ways to fight climate change. Is this something that could work for your community? You can read more about it here. I learned about this from The Daily Difference. It's a newsletter by the Carbon Almanac with practical tips on how to fight climate change, one action at a time. 34:22 - LISTEN. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SCI F'IRISH SONGS?

This is the history of the Burns Supper in Scotland, and beyond, and the traditions that go with it.

In the first ENRG Sport Podcast of 2022, Jack Donnelly is joined by Struan Garvie, Angus McGregor and debutant Kyle Campbell to discuss all the biggest news from the world of football. Big Question has the lads discussing Scottish tradition and comparing their ideal Burns Supper guest from the Scotland men's national team, with shouts for John McGinn, Lyndon Dykes and Stephen O'Donnell's empire biscuits. Our Scottish coverage wraps up the biggest action from the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, with Kelty Hearts claiming a scalp as they dumped out holders St. Johnstone, leaving Callum Davidson's future even more unclear. There's chat about wins for Hearts, Hibs and Livingston, Jack finds time to try and find positives about Ayr's loss and we look forward to the fifth round of the cup, as we discuss the draw. Jack and Kyle are full of love for Thiago Silva in our look at the Premier League, with the defender scoring against Tottenham in Chelsea's 2-0 win, following a beauty from Hakim Ziyech. Our United contingent discuss what's been happening at Old Trafford ever since Ralf Ragnick arrived, before the team tries to understand why Arsenal keep falling short of becoming a serious club once again.

Artist David Mach talks about his new artwork inspired by Burns Suppers around the world.

Henry Winter, chief football writer at The Times, drops by to chat about Fergie's eloquent ferocity, youth development, distractions for young footballers, an enduring love for Scotland, and we uncover the first person to send a text at Manchester United.Music by Liam McClair and Crowander See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week is special at the Raven & Thistle, as we celebrate Scotlands National Poet, Robert Burns Birthday on January 25. Our typical Burns Supper is much subdued this year and will move to the original date on his death this summer... more on that in the future. The list of Scots that have been major inventors, scientists, authors etc. is truly amazing. But Mike is focused on the telephone. Invented by a Scot, Alexander Graham Bell, and what it has become is...well... better let Mike tell you that! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michael-a-glenn/message

Robert Burns was born in a small cottage in Alloway in Ayrshire on 25th January 1759, becoming a prolific poet and songwriter whose work remains an important part of Scotland's heritage. Five years after his death in 1796, friends gathered and ate haggis and drank whisky in his honour. This developed into the Burns Supper, held on Burns Night, 25th January every year not just in Scotland but worldwide. This is the story behind the event.

Former Simple Minds band member Mike Ogletree talks about finding his Scottish (and African) music traces in the Smoky Mountains and Scots-Irish Cultural traditions.Tune in for this fun conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by clicking here.Show NotesSegment 1Joseph Franklyn McElroy's family has been in the Smokies for over two hundred years. Joseph is interviewing Mike Ogletree, best known for his work in new wave bands such as Fiction Factory and Simple Minds. He currently living in the Smoky Mountains exploring the Scottish roots of Appalachian music. Joseph recommends that any interested viewer should read Wayfaring Strangers: The Musical Voyage from Scotland and Ulster to Appalachia, which has a forward by Dolly Parton who is a cousin of his. Joseph explains the geographic and cultural connection of Scotland to the Appalachian Trail. Early Scotch-Irish immigrants brought their musical traditions, mostly folk musical instruments like fiddles and rudimentary guitars. With the added influence of West Africans and the Cherokee and new subgenre became prominent in Appalachia known as bluegrass. In the McElroy family's establishment, the Meadowlark Motel, Mike is the artist in residence and has introduced a music program. As a self taught musician was influenced by the Cajun style band called The Meters. He was also interested in traditional Scottish music as well as popular rock.Segment 2For Mike it was a challenge not to migrate due to his adventurous nature and he welcomed the challenge. Mike first came to California and worked at a film studio then moved to New York. While successful, his biggest challenge was moving from a small town environment to the city which is sustainable but the life of a musician can bring you down. Mike was still looking forward to a change. Mike and Joseph met at the General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of The City Of New York. They were instrumental in moving the Alexander Hamilton house to a national park. While in New York he became friends with many Scottish people and discovered that there was a strong interest in his culture and history. He was asked to perform at the Burns Supper. As a fan of Robert Burns, setting his poetry to music was not a challenge. While doing so, Mike discovered Scottish Reggae. Mike performed the famous love poem A Red Red Rose by Robert Burns. He explains that the beat is what makes it reggae.Segment 3After losing his wife, Mike decided to stay in the Rockies because to him it is like a fantasy Scotland. He'd go off by himself in the woods after school and have dreams of his freedom and liberty. When Mike came to the mountains he discovered the place he dreamed of in the woods. In the mountains he enjoys hiking to waterfalls, enjoying the scenery and visiting the Maggie Valley Bird Sanctuaries. Mike's musical education began with the music of the south so he was familiar with the heritage. He learned about the African American influence then began listening to Scottish music so he could understand the influence. He discovered that many musicians brought jigs and Scottish music to the mountains, which would later evolve into the fiddling style you hear in Bluegrass. Mike plays another song, Man of Sorrow by Bob Dylan. Mike and Joseph reflect on the sense of community held in both the Rockies and Scotland as well as the straightforwardness of the people. Joseph recalls that while growing in the Smoky Mountains he people would gather with instruments and make music. It was a spontaneous environment where anyone could playSegment 4Every Saturday night Mike does a live music show at the Meadowlark Motel. He welcomes walk-in musicians to share their mountain and he will share Scottish songs with them in return. Even during this pandemic there are opportunities to hear live music. The Fairground has been doing drive in concerts with bluegrass and country musicians. Many musicians don't have anywhere to play so they are grateful to be playing outdoors. Mike has a website that is a nod to his black and Scottish culture called the blexcotsman.com. He can also be found on the Meadowlark Motel's Facebook page because they livestream his performances.

Ich war diese Woche krank und bin es immer noch leicht. Dazu rezitiere ich mehr oder minder gut ein Gedicht, rede über Gottesdienste und das Involviertsein mit christlichen Institutionen, und darüber das Schule gleich nächste Woche nochmal anstrengend wird.

This week the Cask Chasers Podcast has taken the show on the road!  We are recording in front of a live audience at the State Theater in Havre de Grace, Maryland to kickoff a weekend of activities leading up to the traditional Burns Supper evening.  The town invited the Cask Chasers to hold a whisky tasting from the theater, so we took the audience on a trip around Scotland as we tasted a whisky from each of the 5 regions.  In our kilts and up on stage, join us as we discuss what makes each region unique and how that translates to the taste of whisky in your glass.

A Burns Supper is a remarkable event, and one that I highly recommend you attend. The poetry of the Plowmen Bard is romantic, sentimental, lustful, honest, satirical, humorous and authentic for the 1780’s in which he wrote through now and forever.   On the next January 25th, if you can find a Burns Supper being hosted near you: I highly recommend that attend. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the life of the Ploughman Bard.

On the 25 January each year millions of people across the world will attend Burns Suppers to honour Scotland's National Bard. Quite simply, no other literary figure is commemorated in the way that Burns is worldwide. In this episode of the Tae The Bard podcast series we look at ways in which Burns Night Celebrations have evolved since the early nineteenth century, all the time retaining Burn's poetry and song at their heart. Our guests today offer different perspectives on both performing and organising the Burns Supper. Catherine Wilson is an Edinburgh-based poet and writer, known for her reflections on the everyday, blended with a sense of humour and solemn questions about the big things in life. Jack Finlay is the associate producer of the Big Burns Supper, an 11-day festival in Dumfries with an eclectic mix of music, comedy and performance. Professor Gerard Carruthers, Francis Hutcheson Chair of Scottish Literature at University of Glasgow, has performed at Burns suppers around

Ask anyone to name some Scottish foods associated with Robert Burns and you can be sure haggis will be on the tip of their tongue. This traditional Scottish dish was so beloved of Burns that it boasts its own tribute - Address to a Haggis. So it makes sense that it is a centrepiece of the traditional Burns Supper and will be served up at events all over the world. This episode of Tae the Bard will discuss what makes haggis such an important part of this cultural celebration. Our guests are well acquainted with the 'Great Chieftain o' the Puddin-race'. Colin Bussey is a former Executive Chef in The Gleneagles Hotel and a haggis enthusiast. James Macsween is a third-generation member of Scotland's first family of haggis and owns Britain's number one haggis brand.

Robert Burns is Scotland's most successful cultural export and this episode of Tae The Bard celebrates 'Auld Lang Syne' - without doubt his most well-travelled work. His version of this traditional song has become an intrinsic part of a range of occasions, from weddings and new year parties to, of course, the Burns Supper. While the song is much loved, many misunderstand its true meaning and perhaps miss its deeper significance. Our guests have close links to the song that has become a global anthem. Folk singer and musician Mairi Campbell's recording made an appearance in the first 'Sex & the City' movie and even inspired her to create a one woman show.

This week Moose and Dews look ahead to some of the things coming Primordial's way in 2019, and Dews is surprised by the complexity of a Burns Supper. Serious, the haggis gets it's own escort and everything. Given that it's the first podcast of 2019, they also get talking about resolutions, and things they want to change about themselves. One of them is about working out and eating BEFORE going to the pub, and the other is about anger and forgiveness. You can probably figure out whose is whose...

It is also impossible not to mention the Celtic Connections concert " All will be well - A celebration of Michael Marra".
