The legend of Robert Burns offers diverse areas of intrigue for listeners. Undoubtedly the range of fiddle melodies collected for his songs, composed by contemporaries Niel Gow, William Marshall and others, offers an absorbing theme for the concert platform. Alastair, an award-winning fiddler with an extensive back catalogue of recordings and broadcasts, completes his Fringe journey this year exploring these classics alongside piano/accordion master Gregor Blamey. A sweet taste of Scottish history for Burns enthusiasts. 'Panache, grace and affection' (Scotsman). 'A must for aficionados' (Herald). 'Spectacular in simplicity, scope and delivery' (Folkwords).
