“Welcome, feast and revelry/ Tipsy dance and jollity/ 

Braid your locks with rosy twine/ Dress yourself with garments fine/

Tonight we dance, tonight we dine/ With mad music and strong wine” – Robert Burns, 1759-1796

Folks, it’s all ours to have until all hours at the annual Robert Burns celebration at Bobby Byrne’s Bar, Saturday January 24 from 8pm. Warm fires and tartan light the taper; Michael Potter and Noel Flannery are keepers of the flame.
