(Mim
Erasmus & Frank Graham)
Burns
Night - and all things Scottish offers a Burns
supper as a celebration of the life, music and poetry of the Bard of Scotland, Robert
Burns, the author of many Scottish poem, songs and stories. The show will
feature Mim Erasmus and Frank Graham with The Durban Regiment Pipe Band and
will take place at Rhumbelow Theatre at Tina’s Hotel in Kloof from January 24
to 26.
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).
Mim Erasmus, Durban’s very own Minstrel,
and Frank Graham, raconteur and storyteller de
luxe need no introduction, and audiences are guaranteed 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 Erasmus
will sing these and others audiences can sing with. Graham will regale everyone
with other stories, Burns poems and tall tales to complete the evening’s
entertainment.
Pipers, piping hot haggis and a few good
whiskies guarantee an evening to remember.
Performances take place on January 24 and
25 at 20h00 and on January 26 at 14h00. (Venue opens 90 minutes before show for
drinks)
