Robert Burns – Untold Stories & Unsung Songs
Alastair Turnbull takes a fresh look at the life of Robert Burns. He talks about Robert as if he is a friend he hasn’t seen for a while rather than a distant historical figure, bringing Robert to life in a modern world. Expect fun stories and explanations as he talks about Robert’s poems, travels, and loves. Add in a few songs, maybe a joke or two, the easiest quiz you’ll ever take part in, and you can begin to see what to expect.
Come along, listen, laugh, and maybe even learn some Burns facts to impress your friends.
A Blether and a Bevvy with Harriet Tyce
We are delighted to be joined this year by Harriet Tyce author, former criminal barrister and contestant on the fourth series of The Traitors.
Harriet practised as a criminal barrister for nearly ten years, before changing her career path to writing crime fiction. Her first novel Blood Orange, published in 2019 to huge critical acclaim became a Richard and Judy choice.
Her new book Witch Trial is a chilling, multi-layered legal thriller that centres on the murder of 18-year-old Christian Shaw in Edinburgh, for which police charge her two best friends.
Hosted by Aberdour’s very own international bestselling novelist Jenny Colgan.
