FLOOD AID

Scotland’s Big Burns Supper festival put out a special version of Auld Lang Syne, which was on sale from Hogmanay to Burns Night to raise funds for victims of the flood disaster in Cumbria. The initiative aimed to extend a helping hand from people in Scotland to their neighbours over the border. Performed by singer Holly Little with the Dumfries Community Choir, and arranged by musician Robert Shields, it is sung in the original Scots to a Celtic rock soundtrack.
