TAE THE POETS by CHRIS CONNELLY from the album THE BIRTHDAY POEMS https://www.thebirthdaypoems.com/ Video by DERICK SMITH and MATT WALKER, filmed on location at GMAN TAVERN THE BIRTHDAY POEMS is a fictionalized account of the romance between STELLA CARTWRIGHT and GEORGE MACKAY BROWN, and their friendship with STANLEY ROGER GREEN About TAE THE POETS A very shy George Mackay Brown would visit the Rose Street bars of Edinburgh and nurse a pint, hoping to meet his poetic heroes. When invited to join the throng one night by Sydney Goodsir Smith, George, cripplingly shy, did not accept the offer. It would take a little time, and a few more pints of McEwan’s Heavy, before George became a part of the group himself.
