Sláinte

to the Memphis Scottish Society's website!

We exist to promote an understanding in “things Scottish,” through programs at our Monthly Meetings, and support for individual’s studies of Scottish heritage, history, and culture.

Come and meet us at 6:00 PM on the second Monday of the month for the Monthly Meeting at Jason’s Deli at Highland & Poplar. Each meeting includes a presentation of Scottish interest. There are also several informal gatherings throughout the year, such as the Spring Celidh (party) and summer picnic.

The highlight each year is the Burns Nicht Supper, a celebration of Scotland’s poet, Robert Burns on the Saturday in late January closest to his birthday on the 25th.

Details on our events are posted on this website as plans progress.


Thanks

President

It begins with a dramatic a cappella vocal, followed by a crisp and concise interlude of flatpicked guitar. Then the warm and supple tenor voice settles in to work, delivering literate and cinematic vignettes of rural Americans and their struggles in memorable melodies and compelling twists of phrase. The between song banter is as much of the show as the music, with humorous anecdotes and a theatrical flair for storytelling weaving the words and music into a memorable performance. Such is a typical ANDREW McKNIGHT concert experience.

Just when you think you’ve got a handle on singer songwriters, along comes MARTYN JOSEPH to blow the myth away. There’s nothing predictable about a Joseph gig – only that it could make you laugh, cry, get you thinking, leave you reeling. It might be just another evening when you go in to a Martyn Joseph concert – but it certainly won’t be when you come out.
