The cast list for our massive Burns archive project continues to grow and now the Prince of Wales has added his voice to the collection. He recorded two pieces and we fact this morning on Good Morning Scotland. The Today programme on Radio 4 also aired one of them but, strangely, didn't actually identify the Royal voice.

Since there there's been a lot of interest from newspapers and and that's all to the good if it encourages more people to explore the website and listen to some of the poetry.

One such is the Controller of 91Èȱ¬ Radio 7, Mary Kalemkerian who sent me a very nice e-mail this afternoon and said she would mention the archive in her own newsletter.

Meanwhile, in case I'm ever asked, I've been trying to decide which would be my favourite Burns poem. I think it's this one.

How about you?
