Wow! This is the first time Tam O'Shanter has come alive for me. I need all of Karen's facial cues, gestures and background scenes to guide me, because to my uninitiated American ear the language is tougher than Tam's trip home. (And here I thought watching "Monarch of the Glen" was a challenge!)
Wonderful performance ! The only one could maybe possibly do it better John Laurie .A superb and accomplished actor himself well before Dads Army. Not forgetting Rikki Fulton another great Scottish actor who would have made a fine performance of this masterpiece. Lets not forget .The Twa Dogs. and The Cottars Saturday Night. this is stuff that rouses the World not just Scottish hearts, but all humanity. Truly Scotlands legacy to the world!
It's amazing. I love it. I love the poem, I love the language. But...she abbreviates it. NOT a problem, usually, but for my favorite poem of all time? It kinda itches a little, you know?
Ah think this is pretty good. Learning this wan maself for oor next Burns night so well done Karen. Good performance and good theatrics. It's a bit borin just watchin somebody readin it as if it was aff a sheet o paper. Put some life into it and people will watch and listen to wan o Burns greatest verses.
wow!!! not only is she one of Scotlands best comedians but she proved by reciting Burns just how versitile she is......
MY HEART WENT LIKE THAT!!!!
It's Friday the end of may 2018, I had a whim to hear the Tam O' Shanter, And the red haired Dunbar brought it to me, Thank you Daughter.
Best recital I have ever heard.
i have seen and heard many renditions of this great tale, even given it myself, but this has to be the best - Goan yersel Karen- Great
Just Wow! That lady just blew my mind.

good recital, tho' about a third was skipped. i had fun reciting it with her.
aye she,s a guid yin
Please check out ''Tam O'Shanter from Cumbernauld''
Let me know what you think on my take please! ;-)
Cool
@gregingram1970 my opinion...
braw!
This is fine except that she LEFT OUT about 20 lines!!!
The poem is a masterpiece. She dont give it credit at all. Its a bit like Nesum Dorma sang by JLS. Still, its the finest poem penned on paper.
Great but many more than 20 missed....all the really gruesome lines are missing !
It's a great reading but I can only see her chewin the fat characters
it was good but i've seen better performances
