Talk by Drew Clegg

This event took place on Sun 22 March
The Town Hall, Queens Gardens – Council Chamber

How will Burns's reputation stand in the years to come? Surprisingly, there are extensive areas of the poet's life and work which remain to be explored. Drew Clegg, said by both the present and past presidents of the World Burns Federation to be among the best speakers on the poet to be found, attempts to identify these and to suggest how they might be pursued.
