In 1991 I joined Bowhill People's Burns Club. This group of Burns experts formed in 1940 and are still going strong today with a tremendous annual supper. With their concert party I have attended and entertained at many Burns Suppers, including those for the Royal Mail, the Fire Dept, local hotels and clubs and even one in Japanese, singing and performing Burns classics such as Tam o' Shanter and Address to the Haggis. I continue to do recitals and songs at various Burns functions. Here I am delivering the Immortal memory at Anglia Ruskin University's first Burns Supper. |

I now offer a one-man Burns show combining my love of Burns songs and poetry with the experience of the many suppers I have performed at.
