BURNS NIGHT - AND ALL THINGS SCOTTISH


(Mim Erasmus & Frank Graham)

Burns Night - and all things Scottish is a Burns supper celebration that pays tribute to the life, music and poetry of the Scottish poet Robert Burns at Rhumbelow Tina’s Hotel in Kloof from January 25 to 27.

The suppers are normally held on or near the poet's birthday, January 25, occasionally known as Robert Burns Day (or Robbie Burns Day or Rabbie Burns Day) but more commonly known as Burns Night (Scots: Burns Nicht).

Scottish songs, stories and great fun are the order of the day for this celebration of the life and times of Robert Burns, the Bard of Scotland.

Mim Erasmus, KZN’s very own Minstrel, and Frank Graham, raconteur and storyteller de luxe, need no introduction, and Rhumbelow guarantees a night of fabulous music and rib hugging hilarity.

“We all know Burns songs like Ye banks and braes and My love is like a red, red rose, and Mim will sing these and others you can sing with. Frank will regale us with other stories, Burns poems and tall tales to complete the evening’s entertainment. Pipers, piping hot haggis and a few good whiskies will guarantee you an evening to remember,” says Roland Stansell who runs Rhumbelow Theatre.

Burns Night - and all things Scottish has performances on January 25 and 26 at 20h00 and on January 27 at 14h00. (The theatre venue opens 90 minutes before show for drinks)
