I have just listened to a session , partly in Gaelic, from Nashville Tennessee of the songs of Robert Burns.
I recorded it from BBC Alba yesterday and was moved to tears by a rendering of 'Ae Fond Kiss' in that language.
Burns wrote the song to Nancy Macklehose ( previously Agnes Craig from the Saltmarket). OK she was married, but as her husband was away earning a living from the sweat and blood of slaves in the Indies he can be excused!
i would recommend this listening to this programme on catchup- it was on at 11pm yesterday and was of an all female cast.
Best regards,
John
