DESCRIPTION:Band of Burns welcomes you to one of the most powerful and compelling sounds of folk and world music"\:" a unique collaboration of twelve artists from the top echelons of the folk scene – including members of such prestigious groups as Afro Celt Sound System and The Langan Band.
 
 These individuals come together to perform a truly distinct show which celebrates the life\, works and philosophies of Robert Burns\, sharing a profound belief in the values he championed – equality\, social justice and the power of love – and in their pressing relevance amid today’s troubled times.
 
 The birth of Band of Burns came after several years of one-off Burns Night gigs in London’s famous Wilton’s Music Hall. The team behind the band – musicians Alastair Caplin and Dila Vardar – put together a more permanent group of musicians who relished playing together but had too little opportunity and were hungry for more.
 
 Bringing elements of the musical traditions of their homelands - Scotland\, Ireland\, England\, Wales\, and Turkey - the final selection of the twelve musicians was an easy choice to make\; all had played together at some point in the past\, all had shared the highest level of mutual respect for each other’s musical skill\, and all had a deep regard for the works of Robert Burns.
 
 The resultant band is a tightly knit ensemble of musicians who all shine bright in their own right\, with a string of awards and an admirable checklist of every big concert venue in the UK.
 
 “Nourishing stuff beyond its times\, another warm welcoming stew to fee the bones.” - The Guardian
 
 “A shimmering collection that does full justice to the poet’s humane vision.” - The Times
 
 This is a standing show.
