We askit Meg Stanger o Aberdeen Student Show thae speirins. <\/p>\n

Tell us aboot yersel or yer ootfit.<\/strong>
\nWeel, here at Aberdeen Student Show we\u2019ve been pittin on shows fer an affa lang time noo, ower a hunner years! Oor shows are doric parodies of weel-kint films, stories, or musicals, and aa\u2019 the money we raise gets split atween heaps o charities fa aa aroon the North East.<\/p>\n

Whit wis it got ye involvit wi the Scots leid?<\/strong>
\nSee fir us at Student show it comes natrally. We get an affa lot o folk fae Fraserburgh and Peterheid far its jist the common tongue. Even in Aiberdeen its affa common, yi hear jist aboot abidy spikin awa in their native tongue so since ih majority o us are fae here, we\u2019re aridy spikin scots onywye! And we aa try oor best tae teach abidy fa isnae aridy spikin scots. Since 1921 Student Show has bin a haven for Doric performance on Aiberdeen\u2019s stages.<\/p>\n

Why dae ye feel it is important tae use Scots in everyday life?<\/strong>
\nWe believe it\u2019s important tae keep spikkin Scots to keep oor heritage alive. Muckle folkies hiv bin telt tae spik \u201cproper\u201d and ti nae use the Doric, and we think at\u2019s nae richt! We try tae bring Scots tae the young folks and the students fa maybe hivnae encountered it afore. Doric connects the folkies o Aiberdeen like nithin else, it maks us richt proud o oor wee Granite City.<\/p>\n

Dae ye hae a favourite Scots phrase or saying?<\/strong>
\nIs it nae jist impossible tae choose jist een? Ah us at ih Student Show pride wersels on jist \u2018gieing it laldy\u2019, so much so that we aften end up \u2018fair puggelt\u2019 so those wid definitely be up there with oor favourites. Although, for many o wer cast fa hiv niver spoken Doric afor \u2018foggie bummer\u2019 is always a gweed een.<\/p>\n

Is there a Scots speaker who inspires you?<\/strong>
\nThere hiv been so mony Scots spikkers fa hiv been involved in Student Show and inspired us ower the years, probably the most weel-kint wid be the mannies fae Scotland The What? Buff Hardie, Stephen Robertson, and George Donald hiv left such a great legacy of Scots comedy, so much so that we give oot a special \u2018Scotland The What? Award\u2019 tae een o the new the cast members fa\u2019ve given aathin they\u2019ve got to the Show. We\u2019re affa prood tae hiv this association wi such fine folks.<\/p>\n

Do you hear Scots spoken regularly in your local area? Have you noticed any changes over time?<\/strong>
\nEen o the maist special hings aboot jynin the Student Show is getting tae hear aa the different versions o\u2019 the Doric fae aa\u2019 ower the north east. Hearin the differences atween fit the toonsers say and fit folks fae the Broch say, or those fae Peterheid, or getting to listen to teuchters fae Deeside, is pure magic. It's ace tae learn new words.<\/p>\n

Ony particlar career heighlichts<\/strong>
\nSpikkin on behalf o\u2019 abidy involved, ave got ti say iss past year fan we broke oor record for money raised wis affa special. Ower \u00a3125,000 fir local charity is summin we niver thoucht us lot would be dein fan we joined so gettin i chance ti help sae much folk we such a muckle amount o\u2019 money really is amazin. Ih legacy of oor Doric production on the folkies of Aiberdeen gives us shivers of pride.<\/p>\n

Wha’s yer plans fir the days aheid?<\/strong>
\nIts nae quite been announced yet, but we\u2019ve got oor next show lined up fir next year aridy! Hopefully we can smash \u2018is years total and raise even mare money for loads o local charities.
\nBesides at we\u2019ve got heaps o fundraisers and the kind sorted oot aa oer Aberdeen for the hael year to help us smash last years total!
\nWe cannae wait to keep building oor special connection we the fine folk o Aiberdeen using the mither tongue.<\/p>\n
