Burns 'n' Blue (Morran, Weatherby, Brechin, Duff, Freeman): Robert Tannahill Bicentenary Concert
26 March 2010
The Pleasance
20:00pm
£9 / £7 (concession)
Robert Tannahill (1774-1810), the Paisley song-writer and poet, arguably inherited the cultural mantle of Robert Burns more than anyone. Though 18,000 people turned out for his centenary celebration, he has been sadly neglected for the last 100 years. His works have been published in numerous editions - virtually always without the music - so that the songs have all but disappeared. It was with this in mind that Dr Fred Freeman launched a CD series in 2006 of what will be the only 'Complete Songs of Robert Tannahill' (Brechin All Records). This concert follows on from a widely acclaimed Bicentenary Concert and launch of volume 2 at this year's Celtic Connections.
