Robert Burns Night 2010
Posted By Roddy On 28/01/2010 @ 09:33 pm In Latest news | No Comments
Back to Greece last weekend for the [2] 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 [3] Intercontinental Athens or if you are on more of a budget, then pop in to see Eddy at [4] Athens Backpackers for a super friendly welcome.
