Since the first Burns Dinner in 1801, people have gathered to pay homage to this great Scottish Bard. Join songsmith Bruce Coughlan with special guests Daniel Lapp, fiddle & piano and René Cusson, pipes & whistles and celebrate BURNS NIGHT 2022 with them in-person.

Robbie Burns (1759-1796) in his own time was a man of modest means, spending most of his life an impoverished tenant farmer. But Burns possessed “mither wit and native fire” and his own words reveal much about the man, his humility, humanity, passion, compassion, humour & insight.

“As a songwriter myself, I am especially drawn to his craft. The songs Burns either wrote or adapted have survived the test of time because of the quality of writing and how simply and eloquently they convey immensely powerful messages.” – Bruce Coughlan

Programme selections include the Bard’s greatest hits: Westlin Winds, Auld Lang Syne, Ae Fond Kiss, A Man’s A Man and of course, Address to a Haggis!
