Robert Burns

Welcome to our Burns Club Page.

Mak-a-din love performing at burns suppers mostly because it is a pleasure to keep alive the memory of our most famous poet, Robert Burns.
His songs poems and letters should, and will be, cherished by us proud Scots forever.
In their immortal memory Mak-a-din keep the contents light-hearted and funny while at the same time emphasise how important it is to remember our precious bard. Mak-a-din have various "immortal memories" recitals for individual venues. One of those "immortal memories" is in the form of an execptional personal poem which is always well received, particularly at mixed nights, as it only lasts about 10 minutes. Mak-a-din - Gordon & Dougie

Mak-a-din are renowned for their toast to the haggis which encompasses a fantastic poem, and is just right for setting the atmosphere and kick starting a great night which is guaranteed to be remembered. You can hear a clip of this recital by clicking here. (mp3 track )

Where appropriate Mak-a-din have a associations with a female performer, who is well versed in the bards work, and can reply on behalf of the lassies so that they, (the ladies), can get their own back on the lads.

The most important part of a burns supper to us is of course the music and Mak-a-din belt out some of the greatest songs Robert Burn's ever wrote including Killiekrankie, Mcphersons Rant, Ye Jacobites, Johnny cope and many more. (Just to wet your whistle - Click here for a sample of MacPhersons Rant - mp3 format)

Mac-a-din also can supply a piper who is absolutely fantastic and has played alongside the red hot chilli pipers.

If you decide to book Mak-a-din for your burns supper you will be guaranteed a fantastic night of traditional music, rhyme and banter.
