(1759-1796) takes place this weekend. His birthday, January 25th,

The Texas Highlanders are holding such a Burns Supper in Austin.http://www.AustinCelts.org/aca.shtml. And we'll be down in
Harlingen playing one for the Scots down in South Texas.
To celebrate this happy occasion, this issue is dedicated to
Robert Burns. BTW, did I mention I have two Burns' songs on
my CD: "My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose" and "Killiecrankie"? ;)
See ye next week!

Music Band Feature
Jean Redpath was born in Scotland. At the University of
Edinburgh, she discovered the School of Scottish Studies which
collects and preserves the oral traditions of Scotland. In 1961,
she arrived in the United States and through series of "accidents" shared quarters with several legends of the '60s folk revival
including Bobby Dylan. An appearance in a hootenanny brought
the offer of a booking and won her rave reviews in the New York
Times.
Since 1962 she has toured throughout the world and has devoted
a large portion of her professional life to the songs of Scotland's
national bard, Robert Burns. Her work produced seven recordings
which have won critical acclaim.
Jean Redpath is a legend in the Scottish folk community and if
there was a Celtic Hall of Fame, no doubt she'd be one of the
first to be inducted.
Buy
CD "The Songs Of Robert Burns, Volumes 1 & 2" (1996)
Some of the songs Andy is most famous for are his renditions of
Robert Burns songs like "My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose". This
album captures all of Rabbie Burns' best songs by one of
Scotland's best singer.

Music Band Feature
For over ten years now, the Old Blind Dogs have stood at the
leading edge of the roots revival that has both reawakened and
revolutionised Scottish folk music.
Combining a deep appreciation of ancient traditions with a highly contemporary, dynamically cosmopolitan musical approach, their
uniquely distinctive arrangements of ballads, airs, and dance-tunes
put the sounds of their homeland firmly on the world music map.
