    "Last Man With Sky" is a collection of Robin Cairns poems. These range from the    
      comic through to the heartfelt, sometimes in the same verse.

     It includes popular poems from the repertoire Robin does live and also some more reflective pieces seldom aired in public. With the book punters will scoop a free DVD of Robin Cairns performing his much-in-demand poem Old Lochgelly. This is the hilarious tale of the ferocious Scottish teacher named after the belt which he used to thrash Robin and his little chums in those far-off but fondly remembered days of having some education  leathered into us at school. The performance on the DVD is before a live audience at Glasgow`s historic   Britannia Panopticon Theatre, the oldest surviving Victorian music hall in the world and the stage on which Stan Laurel  made his debut at the age of sixteen! Robin performs regularly at The Panopticon  both in his own shows and as one of the current roster of music hall acts.

     ’The Last Man With Sky’ is published by Red Squirrel press and is available at a      
      cost of £5 & £1.00 p&p Robin Cairns , 84 Clifford Lane, Glasgow G51 1NR.
      (Cheques payable to Robin Cairns).
