Growing up in Mauchline untill 15 years of age then moving to Alloway I have been immersed in the works and surroundings of Burns all of my life and have been a regular performer of Burns works for many years.

As there are no Burns Suppers to physically attend this year, I wanted to entertain and bring a bit of cheer through this tongue in cheek youtube video of "Tam" and at the same time raise some funds for The Kris Boyd Charity who have helped and are continuing to help many people in Ayrshire and the West of Scotland. https://www.thekrisboydcharity.co.uk/who-we-are/

I would be grateful could dig deep to donate what you would spend on a drink, a ticket or a round of drinks at a Burns Supper. In return I offer a chance to view this film of Tam o'Shanter dating from "1921," which was among the first examples of talking pictures. This is evidenced from the poor quality of picture, sound, editing, transitions, continuity, props, sound effects and especially, performance. It was thought / hoped that it was lost forever, but was recently discovered down the back of the sofa while looking for the remote control.

It is filmed in the locations mentioned in the poem in Alloway.

Please enjoy and thank you for your donation.

Stay safe!

Cameron

P.S. The remote control turned up in the fridge.
