As we get ready for Burns Night on 25 January, we're delving into the Love Scotland archives to bring you three episodes that reveal the life and legacy of Robert Burns. - Jackie gathers two companions to discuss the “song that everybody sings”: Auld Lang Syne. With lyrics penned by Robert Burns in 1788, but origins dating back further, it is now a global anthem of friendship, celebration, yearning and nostalgia. Mairi Campbell, a Scottish musician whose version appeared in the Sex and the City film and has since created a show inspired by the song, is the first of Jackie's two guests. Also joining the conversation is Professor Gerard Carruthers, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and Francis Hutcheson Chair of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow.  To enjoy more episodes of Love Scotland, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. For more information on the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, click here. Explore the National Trust for Scotland's Robert Burns Collection online here. - A brand new series of Love Scotland will appear in your podcast feed later this spring.

David Francis comes from Dumfries in the south west of Scotland, but cut his musical teeth in the north east, playing for bands like Desperate Danz Band. He moved to Edinburgh in the 1990s and became a central figure in traditional music: performing with Mairi Campbell in the successful duo The Cast while occupying key positions in the Scottish Arts Council traditional music section and the Edinburgh Folk Festival. In Culture of Possibility #37, Arlene Goldbard talks with David Francis, who currently acts as Director of the Traditional Music Forum in Scotland, about its impressive network of traditional musicians, preservation, reinvention, formal and informal education, Scottish cultural policy and funding, and the whole tapestry of issues, questions, and possibilities it engages.

As another series of Love Scotland draws to a close, Jackie gathers two companions to discuss the “song that everybody sings”: Auld Lang Syne. With lyrics penned by Robert Burns in 1788, but origins dating back further, it is now a global anthem of friendship, celebration, yearning and nostalgia.  Mairi Campbell, a Scottish musician whose version of the song appeared in the Sex and the City film and who has since created a show inspired by Auld Lang Syne, is the first of Jackie's two guests. Also joining the conversation is Professor Gerard Carruthers, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Francis Hutcheson Chair of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow.  With just a few weeks to go until people sing Auld Lang Syne on Hogmanay, Mairi and Gerard reveal their personal connections to the song and its words, how it came to international significance, and how it has evolved since its very early origins.  To find out more about Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, click here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! A special early release of this week's episode to ring in the New Year!

Portobello Singer-songwriter Rosie Nimmo’s fourth album, “Where Time Suspends”, has just been released. Produced by Marc Pilley (ex-Hobotalk, and now Arksong) , its ten tracks have been a long time in the making – and the lockdown didn’t help though the internet has brought together several different musicians to produce a beautiful, polished sound. They include local artists Mairi Campbell on viola, Debbie Nimmo on backing vocals, Graham Smith on guitar and Tommy Nimmo on bass guitar. Over the past week, it’s been “Album of the Week” for Scotland-on-Sunday and several BBC radio stations around the country have played individual tracks. And as Rosie explained to Porty Podcast producer David Calder, it’s very much an album for our time.Rosie's Website: https://www.rosienimmo.com/Bandcamp page: https://rosienimmo.bandcamp.com/Album Review: tinyurl.com/6ufwfd9b

Looking back over 2020, the Porty Podcast has made the effort to keep going. But David Calder and his wife Penny both went down with a mild version of CoVid in the Spring which came back to affect them both – hard – during the summer. So in this, the final episode of the Porty Podcast for this year, David looks back, with thanks to everyone who has contributed, at what has been a difficult year for all of us.

Something good has emerged from the current crisis – and that’s the way in which musicians are finding new ways to reach their audience. Local singer Mairi Campbell has an international following and is using technology – Zoom in particular – to bring them together in what she’s calling Campbell’s Ceilidhs. Once a week on a Sunday, people connect from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even from Scotland either to join her in performing or just to be entertained. Porty Podcast Producer David Calder wanted to find out more.https://mairicampbell.scot/And more information about the online ceilidhs can be found on Facebook

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.

My guest on this episode of Adam Sutherland's Interesting People is Scottish singer, violist, fiddler, step-dancer and actor, Mairi Campbell.  During our chat, Mairi tells me about growing up in Edinburgh and dedicating herself to a solid classical music education.  But always in the background there was some kind of deeper yearning.  This has sometimes resulted in what could be described as a 'respectful unwillingness' to always conform.  And growing up, it might have gotten her into one or two musical scrapes, but ultimately has allowed her to find her feet.. to find her pulse.   Mairi's story is both enlightening and entertaining.  I feel that her insightful musings are bound to resonate with many.  In fact, the success of the first two chapters in her trilogy of theatre shows about her journey are a solid testament to that.   'Pulse' - Mairi's first theatrical debut received critical acclaim during a month of shows at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe.  In August 2018 she returned to the Fringe with the second instalment, 'Auld Lang Syne', and I was very intrigued to hear, first hand, about it's creation.*  Listeners to this podcast will also hear about many other things, including: Mairi's plans for the third and final chapter of her trilogy, the time that US hit sitcom 'Sex and the City' used her and her husband Dave's version of Auld Lang Syne, and some of her thoughts on the state of traditional music in Scotland today.   All in all, an extremely thought provoking conversation between a very fine Scottish artist and some skinny bloke from the hills above Loch Ness.   *The author of this podcast had wished to air this episode before Mairi's run of Fringe shows, but unfortunately succumbed to the pressures of a two months of his own crazy performing schedule, so wishes to extend sincere apologies to Mairi for that.   **I am gradually improving my technological equipment and also my skills at recording and editing.  Sound quality is on an upward trajectory.        

Queen guitarist Brian May fell in love with 3D photography as a child and has since gone on to establish his own publishing company devoted to sharing stereoscopic work from the Victorian era to the present day. May's latest publication is a book by Professor Roger Taylor about the Scottish photography pioneer George Washington Wilson. May and Taylor discuss why Wilson's 3D photographs of Scottish landscapes and street scenes remain as captivating today as they were during the 3D boom of the 1850s and 60s.As the NHS celebrates its 70th anniversary, three doctors are performing their own stand up shows on the Festival fringe. Adam Kay, Dr Kevin Jones and Kwame Asante talk to Kirsty about using their working lives as material.Star of The Mash Report and Austentatious, Rachel Parris tells us what makes a winning comedy song.And Scottish musician Mairi Campbell shares a lesser-known version of Auld Lang Syne.Presenter : Kirsty Lang Producer : Simon Richardson.

The singer, Mairi Campbell, is preparing a new show for this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It's called "Mairi Campbell - Auld Lang Syne" and explores her relationship with one of Scotland's favourite songs and how it's been used (and abused) around the world. The show is the middle part of a trilogy she's working on with a world-class team from her home in Portobello. All music used with permission

Barack and Michelle Obama’s White House Christmas message acknowledges “nonbelievers” as well as Christians, Jews, and Muslims. We talk with Florida activist Preston Smith, a middle-school teacher who bravely erected FFRF’s secular displays in a Boca Raton park to counter the Christian nativity scene. His displays were repeatedly vandalized and destroyed. Then we welcome the New Year with some hopeful music, including Shirley Horn’s “Everything Must Change,” Yip Harburg’s “Over the Rainbow,” Dan Barker’s “Promise of Dawn,” and freethinker Robert Burns’s “Auld Lang Syne” performed by Scottish singer Mairi Campbell.

It's over and done with, it's over and done with. That's it folks, another August, another Fringe wrapped up. The Circus tent is long gone, the purple cow has been sent out to pasture and the menagerie of artists, comedians and clowns from around the world have packed their bags and vacated their AirBnB rentals. Edinburgh, meanwhile, has broken out into a full Indian summer as if in celebration. But here at List HQ we still have one final episode of At the Fringe to share with you.
