Weekend Playlist: Speeches
Here's the weekend playlist created by Ian with help from guest curator SnailOB looking at X/twitter selections (24/01/2025) with Songs that reference speeches.This was to commemorates primarily Burns Night, a celebration of the birth of Robert Burns on 25th January, 1759. Speeches (aka immortal memory) are a feature of a Burns Supper and the gov.uk website lists a special "Burns Night Speech. Notable for his speeches, particularly his "We shall fight on the beaches", Sir Winston Churchill passed away 60 years ago on January 24th.
