Burnsong
Burnsong finds new songs
Burnsong is a unique, bi-annual songwriting project, created to encourage songwriting in Scotland, inspired by the songwriting and song-gathering of Robert Burns.
Patricia Ferguson, Minister for Culture, and Jenny Wilson, DGAA Director launched The Gathering on 25 January 2005, inviting anyone living in Scotland to write and submit a song in any style or genre. By 31 May, 800 songs had been received from all kinds of people from across Scotland - a powerful response.
16 songs were selected over the summer by a prestigious panel of songwriters and music experts. The songwriters gathered in Dumfries to perform or have their songs performed for the first time at The Big Gig! on 30 November at Burnsong - Live!, hosted by BBC Radio Scotland's Vic Galloway.
The next round of song submissions opens on 25 January 2007. To register for a submission pack contact us at info@burnsong.com
