Burns Banter - Ep. 8 Robert Burns 'Willie Brew'd a Peck O' Maut'
'Willie Brew'd a Peck O' Maut' is one of Robert Burns best drinking songs.
It was written by Robert Burns in August / September 1789 whilst staying with Willie Nicol at his lodgings just outside Moffat. Allan Masterton was also there and he wrote the music.
This all happened over a few days during a 'Lads weekend' together. It is just a whole lot of fun rolled up in some great lyrics and sung to a joyous tune.
Enjoy!
