Bill McCue was a TV star in the 70s and 80s and one of the founding singers with Scottish Opera. With his powerful bass voice and endless enthusiasm for all things Scottish, Bill introduced many a Scot to the songs of Robert Burns. As a teenager, his daughter Kirsteen felt that Robert Burns was an unwanted intrusion into her life: ‘Burns was on such a pedestal in our house, it almost put me off’. Now a professor at Glasgow University and a leading expert on Burns, Kirsteen has changed her tune. With Karine Polwart, Jamie MacDougall and rare archive footage.
