With his richly expressive, subtly poignant voice, John Morran is widely recognised as a leading exponent of Scots song. He hails originally from the Ayrshire ex-mining community of Muirkirk, deep in the heart of Burns’ kintrie. John’s approach is about song learning and rhythm, linking the rhythm aspect to Burns’s letters – to show that Burns knew exactly what he was doing. John is a lifetime honorary member and former Director of the Traditional Music and Song Association of Scotland (TMSA). John appeared at the Festival in 1995 with Def Shepherd!
