Aptly dubbed "the voice of Scotland.’’ Robert Wilson’s name has become a household one wherever Scots may congregate. From the log cabins of tne Canadian Scot, from the penthouses of the ex-Highland American millionaire, to the tiny clachans in the villages of his native land —the name <! Robert Wilson is the very breath of the country which he represents and of wlilch he is so rightly proud. Robert Wilson has carved for himself a name not only national in prominence, but international to the extent of being an ambassador of all that is Scottish to his countrymen who have emigrated to lands afar. Those who are fortunate tn seeing a Robert Wilson performance will be fully aware of his spellbinding powers. His artistic appearance and authority on stage is a thrill and delight to his audiences. As a wearer of the kilt he has few equals, and his wardrobe is his pride and joy. Robert Wilson is the very breath of Scotland, and with that breath comes the sweet-scented air of his country, ’’the tang o’ the heather.” WITH The Joe Gordon Folk Four and Maureen Gardner Favourite Recording Stars—the Most Popular Scottish Singing Group Billy Crotchet Celebrated Musical Clown Jeannie Playing the Smallest of Concertinas Sydney Devine 21-year-old Guitarist the Tartan Rocker Jimmy Shand, Jnr.
