(Fringe Review)Moonlight Concerts return to Edinburgh with a musical show inspired by Scotland.A dram of whisky, kilts, sporrans and a dramatic reciting of Rabbie Burns’ great Tam O'Shanter meet Scottish folk music, masterpieces inspired by the beauty of Scotland and a sing-along performance of his world-famous Auld Lang Syne. Tonight’s musical programme includes the most haunting Scottish melodies ever composed: Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ Farewell to Stromness, Burns’ Lea Rigg and Mendelssohn’s Overture to the Hebrides – by intimate candlelight.

Sim would read several stanzas and then pause while Shiel punctuated the performance from selections from a “Tam o’ Shanter” musical arrangement, making for a ripping good yarn.”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Binge Fringe  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/cd2748c0-d6d4-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w1110-h740-dc070705-gmir.jpg PROGRAMMEAe Fond Kiss - Robert BurnsScotland the Brave and Loch Lomond - TraditionalYe Banks and Bonnie Braes - Robert BurnsFarewell to Stromness – Sir Peter Maxwell DaviesSechs Ecossaisen (‘Six Scottish Dances’) – Ludwig van BeethovenLocheil’s March – TraditionalLea Rigg – Robert Burns (arranged for piano by Alexander Reinagle)Mol’s Plate – TraditionalOverture to the Hebrides (‘Fingal’s Cave’) – Felix Mendelssohn (arranged for piano duet)Tam O’ Shanter – Robert Burns (with piano accompaniment by George Warren)Auld Lang Syne – Robert Burns  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/cdf85460-d6d4-11f0-a871-a7cabfa47992-rimg-w493-h740-dc030202-gmir.jpg Matthew Shiel'Matthew Shiel shone' (Three Weeks) and 'Matthew Shiel 'composed' a most enchanting concert. 5 stars!'
