Burns Banter - A fresh look at Robert Burns

I am a freelance Audio Visual Technician, author and public speaker. 

For over 20 years I have travelled the world, working as an Audio Visual Technician at conferences, road shows, exhibitions and many other types of events. During the past ten years I have also developed a career writing non fiction books and public speaking.

I am a life long fan of the Poet ‘Robert Burns’. Unfortunately the language Burns used can be difficult to understand, which puts a lot of people off reading his work. This is the reason I started to write about Burns, I wanted to make it much easier for people to understand and appreciate his work. This is why there are modern, easy to understand, translations of Robert’s poems included in each of the three books I have written about Robert Burns. This has now developed into my podcast, 'Burns Banter'.

I am based in Broxburn, near Edinburgh, Scotland - Where I live with my wife and two daughters.
