The reactions to our initial summoning call in the spring of 2014 were overwhelmingly positive, and the album, was released in November 2015. Robert Burns not only created wonderful poetry, he also wrote next to 200 songs and set them to music. Similar to Toitu, whose curator Seán Brosnahan has been very supportive of our idea, we invited Dunedinites or musicians with a Dunedin background to record their very own version of a Robert Burns song. Inspired by Robbie Rocks Dunedin 2015, a contest hosted by Toitu Otago Settlers Museum in Dunedin, Zelle Records released an LP dedicated to the great Scottish bard Robert Burns (1759-1796) whose statue in the Octagon is one of Dunedin’s most prominent landmarks and whose nephew Thomas Burns (1796-1871) was one of the founding fathers of Dunedin, the “Edinburgh of the South”.
