Burns Banter - A fresh look at Robert Burns
Did you know that Robert Burns was the first person to feature on a Coca Cola bottle? Or that a book of his poems has orbited the earth 217 times? And he NEVER signed his name as Rabbie? This is a modern and light hearted look at the life and works of Robert Burns; poems explained; myths busted; songs sung and stories told. Listen, laugh, and maybe even learn something new with Alastair Turnbull and guests.

Burns Banter - Your Bard! (Edinburgh Fringe Show 2025)
I am performing a show called 'Burns Banter - Your Bard' at this years Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It is all about the darker side of Robert Burns, with drinking songs and poems you probably haven't heard before.
In this episode I tell you about the show and play a couple of clips from a recent warm up gig I played in a local pub.
I'm playing at 'The Three Sisters - Live Room' from the 18th - 24th August 2025. Show starts at 1.45pm and lasts for one hour. Even if you can't make it to the show please buy a ticket to support me, as i have put out a lot of money to do the show and probably won't earn it all back. You can get these online at the Edinburgh Fringe Box Office - just type in Burns Banter - Your Bard and buy the ticket.
I hope to se you there!
