Robert Burns Night 2010

Roddy and the Greek guard

 

Back to Greece last weekend for the St Andrews Society of Athens Burns supper.

A formal get together of 130 people, with haggis, poetry, song and dance.

I played as guests arrived and in for dinner. Piping in the top table then the haggis. I played a Burns set later on, followed by a good going set of reels, the crowd had a lively handclap, but the dancing was reserved for later when the ceilidh started!!

IF you are looking for a great place to stay in Athens, I can recommend the Intercontinental Athens or if you are on more of a budget, then pop in to see Eddy at Athens Backpackers for a super friendly welcome.
