I love Robyn! She has such a lovely voice!❤
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.
eddi reader is just a pure Scots golden angel, lights up any room anywhere, Karen and Robyn just beautiful, what a tribute to Burns.....
Why is Eddi Reader dressed like a witch? She looks like she is one of the characters in Tam O Shsnter? Her version of Auld Lang Syne is like nails down a blackboard, vastly improved when the other ladies drowned out her screeching in the chorus.
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.
Frankly, the music trasports this old man to pleasant places. My, my!
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 ... .

What a wonderful celebration of gorgeous voices, music, and of course the wonderful poetry of Burns himself! Thank you very much for posting!!!
Wonderful Burns Night program.
I am an Irish women and I love Scotland, it''s almost as beautiful as Ireland. Ah No love Scotland so much. I would love to attend Burn's Night one day. A beautiful video, Thank you.
Mary mc mullen sorry mary THATS a big fat no, BONNIE SCOTLANDS beauty casts a shadow over pretty nice Ireland!!!.🏴🏴🏴
I'm American of Scots Irish descendent. The food is good and the is great! But Bobby Burns music and poetry is the best.
To be honest, this music sounds more Irish than Scottish. Moira Anderson, Jimmy Shand, Kenneth McKeller and Andy Stewart would have made a much better show than this.
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
Just Awesome ❤
"ae fond kiss" so much emotion in her voice.
Always has me in tears
Ah, the incomparable Eddie Reader. Scotlands treasure. She has brought Burns's songs to so many for over 40 years.
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 !
Another Beautiful concert! Thank you!
Wonderful. Thank you, all. Happy Burns Night.
Magic!
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.
Eddie Readers rendition A Fond Kiss is so emotional and she sings it with such devotion to Nancy ❤️🌹
I like the interpretation
Good concerts
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.
Thanks - I did research our family history a few years back and found that virtually all of them across the generations back to the late 1700's stayed within a few miles of where they were born. I subsequently found that there were many more people named Tibbitts/Tibbetts in the area that were not related ... so, although I'd originally thought it was a pretty unusual name, it seems it's pretty common (perhaps deriving from son/daughter of Thibault). But thanks anyway for the post - Ian.
does anyone know who arranged the music for the night it just made a wonderful night
Donald Shaw was the 'Musical Director' for the show - he has already made orchestral arrangements for Celtic Connections, so I'm pretty sure he arranged the music here.
thank you very much
Eddi's songs are from her Robbie Burns album and she arranged or co-arranged all the material and Kevin McCrea arranged the strings.
Can someone tell me who wrote this music for Bonnie Jean and Bonnie Dearie? Thanks in advance. I know Robert Burns wrote the lyrics.
Robert Burns' songs were probably set to folk tunes that existed at the time i.e. 'Anon'. This link discusses how they may have sounded then.

'Bonnie Jean' is said to be "tae its ain tune" and the score to "Ca' the yowes" (which is the song I think you're calling Bonnie Dearie") says "a Scottish folk tune". Burns could play the piano, so it's possible he may have written melodies for some of his songs. The specific arrangements here are by Donald Shaw, at the piano and who is Karen Matheson's husband.
@@iantibbetts22 Thank you, sir. I have to look up Donald Shaw too, I guess.
Hi Donald Shaw was one of the founder members of 'Capercaillie', a very successful Scottish folk band in the 1980's. Donald was a regular keyboard player on BBC's "Transatlantic Sessions" series over two decades. He now runs the Celtic Connections music festival in Glasgow, amongst many other musical activities.
@@iantibbetts22 Hi Ian - I have one last question for now. Am I correct in assuming that the music of Burns time or Scottish folk music should be considered early Celtic music? Sorry if this question sounds a bit ignorant or naive, I just have no idea.
@@KushaDwipa Hi there - no problem to reply, we all learn by asking. The folk MUSIC of Burns' time is not what would be called 'Celtic', since at that time Celtic melodies would be played/sung only in the Gaelic speaking areas to the north and north-west of Scotland, (often referred to as 'the Highlands'). As you'd know, Burns' poetry is written in the Scots dialect, a dialect of English spoken in the south and east of Scotland. In the late 1700's, there would have been relatively limited contact between the two 'cultures'. That said, I suspect there would have been at least some cross-over then, just not publicised as such. That cross-over would have grown significantly in the 1800's when most of the Gaelic -speaking world were obliged to look for a living elsewhere, including within Scotland. So the Burns' songs we hear today could well have 'inherited' originally Celtic melodies, but I don't myself know of any specific examples. Hope this helps - Ian.
Eddi is MY Darling!
Ahem, Scots is not a dialect, it is language...
My sincere apologies - I stand humbly corrected ... and from now, so does the description. Thanks👍.
I guess all those who say Eddie Reader is bad prefer Screamo music. Nothing else makes sense.
I never knew Rabbie wrote auld lang syne. Well well well!
Eddi must have been born to perform RB works.
Oh dear…
"Charlie is my darling" is a somewhat odd choice to start off an evening dedicated to Burns, despite Ms. Reader's spirited rendition. Perhaps "All ye Jacobites by Name" might be more appropriate.
Why do all BBC Scottish music shoes have such dark and dimly lit sets nowadays? It's the same on Hogmanay Live too. Back in the 80s the lighting was much brighter and for me this made the shows much more watchable. And also why are they not dressed in kilts and tartan? It is a Burns Night show. They could at least have pretended to be Scottish, and why do the women have men's names.
Geez! Tough customer. With Ivan as your handle I hope you've got a sable fur hat on.
Unfortunately being introduced by the kind of person who you know has about as much feeling for the art of Burns as a cockroach has for the taste of plastic.
That Eddy Reader is shockingly bad.
Sorry, but this is embarrassingly bad.
Are you not well.?
Excellent.
Born to entertain
I cannot stand eddi reader singing Burns songs
Eddi Reader? Awful.
