Christopher Tait, Scotland’s leading Robert Burns performer, has spent more than 30 years bringing the Bard to global audiences. After winning a national talent competition in 1994 with his striking portrayal of Burns, he has performed in 15 countries and 44 cities, including Seattle, Toronto, Dubai, Singapore and London. His career features fronting New York’s Tartan Day, sharing a stage with Ronnie Corbett, and narrowly avoiding arrest after an impromptu Red Square performance.
In conversation with Marcus Railton, he explores Burns’s universal appeal and the vitality of performing Scotland’s national poet worldwide.
