This must be according to Plato: The good, the beautiful and the true. Deeply moving in purity.

I have always loved Gaughan’s elegant melody and deep voice, interpreting that beautiful Burns poem. You all honored both Burns and Gaughan, preforming that song with such clarity. Very beautiful.

A haunting rendition of a brilliant song. Lovely vocals and brilliant arrangement by the musicians. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A wonderful sound. This stands proud alongside Dick Gaughan's version for me.

[@gostrum1]

It’s well performed..
Although It’s hard to surpass Gaughan’s phrasing and annunciation.
