Your Comments

Clive, Omagh
She just captures Burns' poetry like no one else. Tears from a stone time, if you have to explain this to anyone then they have missed the point. God Bless you Eddi

Braxybandit
More than a hint of Belle Stewart. Eddi can evoke a tear from a glass eye. Traditional story telling at it's best

Patrick Cassidy
Beautiful x

John fae Isle of Lewis
Quite superb. Surely even Jeremy Paxman would have applauded this...

Phil
OK I've had a few drinks tonight but just saw this on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Scotland and I was in tears. Just stunning. Carol I hope you got the link and love it as much as I do. xx

Shona
Brillant. Saw her perform in Glasgow when I was a student. Was that Phil Cunningham on accordion?

I would love to be able to buy a DVD of your Robbie Burns concert as well as the Auld Lang syne one. I love your energy on stage and the way you put over the songs.

Donald
I have been a fan of Willie Nelson for 30 years but one of the best renditions of any of his songs I have heard was Eddi singing Settled Back To Earth. How about an album of similar country songs AND an hour on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One Sessions.

Neil Levett
Eddie makes me love Burns where as before I was apathetic, thanks

Scott

eddi reader singing ae fond kiss, musical perfection...

As well the centuries seperate her from Robbie. He would have had another someone special to love.

If Mr Burns was alive today he would surely be declaring her the real deal - exquisite.
