- This wonderful virtual celebration of Robert Burns presented by singer Fiona Kennedy features a splendid compilation of performances and readings, all recorded at home, individually by students, staff, alumni and very special guests including Chancellor of the University HRH The Duchess of Rothesay.
The event also features alumnus Iain Glen, alumna Laura Main, actor John Bett, and Craig Wilson, 'The Kilted Chef'. We also hear the fabulous voices of students and alumni including Iona Rae and Peter MacPherson as well as a fantastic father-daughter performance from George and Georgia-May Drennan. The haggis will be addressed by Mark Stephen and Norman Fiddes will feature on bagpipes. A toast to Robert Burns will be made by Jim Brown MBE and there will be reflections on Aberdeen from Professor James N'Dow.
The evening also features songs from the chart-topping CD 'Immortal Memory' recorded by The University of Aberdeen Chamber Choir conducted by Professor Paul Mealor, as well as a piece on saxophone from alumnus Matthew Kilner.

A wonderful tribute to Robert Burns, well done everyone.
Can you please help me if and hopefully How i can watch the Extraordinary Burns support on my tv using my fire stick, I got your reminder and found all the instructions difficult to understand as mentioned a particular type of way to view; I emailed to the email address straight away but have had no reply
Looking forward to hearing from you ,Brian Innes in Glasgow
Sorry Brian, we can't really offer technical support. Try searching online for instructions on how to view TH-cam with a Firestick, that should be all you need!

@@brianwatsoninnes3621 Glad to hear that someone from the Alumni team was able to help, Brian! Delighted that you were able to join us.
I still have an unopened bottle of 1995 Special edition University Whisky but wouldnae want tae open it right now, on my own, in front of the computer screen. Might just have a wee dram from a different brand tonight. Looking forward to tonight. My 1955 Collins edition of Poems and Songs of Robert Burns is already waiting to see me through Tam o´ Shanter and the Address to the Haggis. Greetings to all alumni

Really extraordinary Burns Supper! The voices of the singers are beautiful! I really look forward to becoming a member of the Aberdeen Uni alumni. But I'm not even a student yet :( ... Still hoping and wishing me luck :)
Greetings to all alumni. Love to see this ...the campus scenery and surrounding, not forgotten ..Vege haggis.
Peter Macpherson a beautiful voice
One of my favorite poems of Burns and it is hard to choose one. Every one of his poems touches a part of me in some way over 250 years later. Genius!
Great video 👍🏽 I’ve applied to this university hopefully I get in 😁
Burns---- The Every Man Poet indeed!
