The Burns Unit - Bringing Robert Burns to your table
Every year, thousands of gatherings throughout the World meet to commemorate the life and works of Scotland’s National Poet, Robert Burns at an evening of music, speeches, toasts, laughter, traditional food and drink and, most importantly, good company.
The Burns Unit is a team of five Scots who bring together all the elements and expertise to make your Burns celebration be it dinner, dance or concert a success. We will provide the core speakers and musicians with support from your local talent.
It’s a family affair with father, mother and son all devotees of Burns and his life and works:
- Fergus Wood Chairman, speaker and musician/bandleader. He has performed in Russia, Europe and the United States
- Francesca Wood Singer specialising in Burns songs with a Silver Disc from the Scottish Music Industry
- Gregor Wood Speaker, singer, piper and performer of specialist Burns recitations, including Address to the Haggis and Holy Willie’s Prayer
- John Burns musician and former All Scotland Accordion Champion
- Roger Sharp leading traditional piper and accordionist
The Burns Unit can bring the World of Burns to your function, whether it be a Burns function, St Andrews or Caledonian event.
