Over the weekend hundreds of singers came out all over Scotland to kick off our Renewing the Tradition project at workshops with some of Scotland’s best song leaders. Over the 4 years of the project we’re going to be building a NEW Burns Songbook of contemporary song inspired by Robert Burns work. This year we sang the first two songs Petals of a Red Red Rose by Findlay Napier and I Will Not Say Goodbye by Kim Edgar as well as An t-Each Uisage by David MacLennen – the winning song in our Gaelic song-writing competition. Thanks so much to everyone who turned out to sing – your enthusiasm made it memorable!
