I've just found on the BBC's website many of Robert Burns' works being read by Scottish actors, including Bill Paterson and other fantastic people like Brian Cox, David Hayman, Daniela Nardini, Alan Cumming, Denis Lawson, Annette Crosbie, Paul Higgins and Robert Carlyle, etc! Here's Bill's list of readings specifically: ![]() http://www.bbc.co.uk/robertburns/works/readers/bill_paterson/ Although they are all beautifully read and certainly worth a listen! Here's a full list of the readers: http://www.bbc.co.uk/robertburns/works/ Just click on the person and you'll get a list of the poems they've recorded reading. To quote the website: "BBC Radio Scotland is growing an archive all of Robert Burns's poetic works. Esme Kennedy and veteran producer Dave Batchelor have recorded performances by some of Scotland's best-loved actors (as well as two others) and a team from the University of Glasgow has provided the many guides featured throughout this website. 410 recordings are available now, with more to follow over the next two years." What a fantastic project! Enjoy! |

Thanks for posting! I love listening to people reading poetry! Paul Higgins!!! I love his voice so much! Especially when he's reading 'Ae Fond Kiss'! Bill has a lovely voice too, I could so listen to him narrating an audio book. I wonder if he ever narrates things? Ooh and Denis Lawson! Okay, I'm going to stop just blurting out people's names now! |
