Martin Aelred Colgan Returns With Poetry
Published
Tam O Shanter (Single)
Martin Aelred Colgan
The artist from Scotland is back with a new and surprising song. Aside from his work as an opera singer, Martin Aelred Colgan made a song celebrating Robbie Burns and his poem 'Tam O Shanter'. Colgan wrote the song for a TV series about the poet.
The Robert Burns soundtrack was commissioned by James Campbell from the independent label Hummdrumm Records and Martin spent the best part of 6 months producing both a soundtrack and a synopsis for a series about the Scottish Bard that includes arrangements and original interpretations of Robbie Burns's best-known works.
Martin Aelred wrote and performed his version of Tam O Shanter as a tribute to the late Billy Mackenzie of The Associates and showcases his best abilities.
