By Mike Ritchie TOURING Europe with her band The Midden was a musical success with co-founder Kate Reid really hitting it off with audiences with her chat. And that was because she used her linguistic skills to talk with fans in their own language during performances – and, equally importantly, at the bar after shows. But Glasgow-based Kate has stuck to her own mother tongue and turned to her lifelong love of Robert Burns for her first solo single, which is being released next week (Thursday, January 21). The song, The Banks o’ Cree, is one of Burns’ lesser-known poems and has not been recorded by anyone else, according to Kate, who started working on it several years ago.
