A Kist o Wurds

Available for over a year

In Ayrshire, we’re at Mauchline Masonic Hall with past Master, Andrew Stuart McFarland who tells Liam Logan about Burns’ association with the Lodges of Mauchline and Tarbolton. The Lodge is putting on ‘The Jolly Beggars Cantata’ - a mini-opera, in Poosie Nancy’s…; and in Ayr Town Hall, Tam Dean Burn performs ‘The Twa Dogs’… and tells Liam about his act which gives Burns a contemporary spin. (Broadcast: 21 Jun 2006)
