Description:
Carolina Oliphant, Lady Nairne, a contemporary of Robert Burns, wrote some of the best-loved songs of Scotland, such as The Hundred Pipers, Charlie Is My Darling, Caller Herrin and Will Ye No Come Back Again. Singer Kate Witney and pianist Jonty Nowell (who will be playing one of the historic instruments from St Cecilia Hall's museum) present a delightfully varied programme, which spans rousing Jacobite calls to arms, lullabies, vibrant scenes of daily life and tender reflections on life and loss.
