Burns Banter - absolutely loved listening to Alastair. A story teller with a warm and friendly manner who really draws you in. The majority of us Scots think we know about Robert Burns, but apparently not! I absolutely recommend visiting this show but this is a small venue. Get there early! You will love the stories told in a fun way with a light hearted quiz and a very popular song . Enjoy

Burns Banter Live gets five stars from me! It was a really good blend of storytelling, poems and facts about Robert Burns. The audience enjoyed Alastair’s warm and friendly style and joined in with his games and final song, which was, you’ve guessed it, Auld Lang Syne. If you know a little about Burns and want to know more, then this show is for you, but despite the early start, you have to get there early- seats are limited and its first come, first served.
