A COMPOSER who starred in Still Game and opened up for Shirley Bassey has now brought out a Burns-inspired book.at Glasgow Clyde College, recently released 10 Songs of Robert Burns. It comes ahead of Burns Night - on Wednesday, January 25.
"The problem with this is that the words are of such great value and the accompaniment is drab and uninspiring."So, I started to wing the accompaniment and make them more interesting when I was playing Burns live, and I felt it really brought Burns' words to life. The book contains all Burns' most known hits including A Red, Red Rose, Auld Lang Syne and Ae Fond Kiss.Alan, who played piano in an episode of BBC's Still Game, began to create the project back at the start of the pandemic in 2020, and the process was one of simultaneous triumphs and challenges.
Alan will be performing these original songs on STV on Wednesday and at the haggis anniversary dinner on Saturday, January 21.
