u3a deputy chair, Rod Ferrier said: “George McCallum will entertain us with stories of Robert Tannahill’s life, as well as sing some songs and share his better-known poems. Tannahill was an accomplished Scottish poet and songwriter, back then being nearly as famous as Robert Burns. Members can join in with this festive interactive presentation.”

This local u3a usually meets on the first Thursday of the month in Paisley’s Salvation Army Hall at Mill Street (PA1 1ND). Refreshments are available from 1.30pm -2pm, prior to the start of the presentation.
