International Burns Night, January 25 2024

Six old friends/ 3 old married couples/ in kilts and tartan celebrate friendship and the immortal memory of Robbie Burns with banter, banquet, bonhomie, a fist-load of poems and songs in a warm and winter-banishing Norfolk interior. The poems - and what poems they are, brimming over like a good ale and whisky with life, love, joy, sorrow, music and laughter- include Address to the Haggis, The Selkirk Grace, To A Mouse, Ae Fond Kiss, A Man's a Man For A' That, My Soldier Laddie, The Henpecked Housewife, The Wife's Lament, "recently discovered" 'Burns' first drafts (satires on Burns targets in our own day including an Elegy for The Year 2023 based on his Elegy For The Year before the French Revolution, 1788) and the songs - ostensibly led by Peacock's Tale folk indie duo!- include Auld Lang Syne (which Burns wrote) The Parting Glass and Will Ye Go Lassie Go which he probably sang. Robbie, you have given us many a glorious evening - none more so than this one - God bless you for it and (as you may have noticed we say in the film a bit) lang may yer lum reek!
