“O aw the airts the wind can blaw, I dearly like the West.”
In his memoir of growing up in Ayrshire, Billy Kay refers to this song as an Ayrshire anthem, one of many by Burns which gave people their strong Scottish identity.
Here, Billy is joined by one of the country’s finest exponents of Scots song, Robyn Stapleton, from Galloway who will be accompanied by Neil Sutcliffe. Billy will talk about the culture, history, folklore and literature of his home in the Irvine Valley and read passages in a powerful Scots that is shot through with a sense of belonging…and a sense of humour!
