PEOPLE in Glasgow are being urged to tune up to celebrate Scotland's national bard.

The Scottish Government is calling on the people of Glasgow to take part in an online global rendition of his most famous song, Auld Lang Syne.

Contemporary Scottish folk outfit, Whisky Kiss, has provided the backing track while budding songsters and Scots from every corner of the globe can join in.

The best submissions will be edited together to form the official Burns Night 2015 video which will go live on Rabbie's birthday, January 25.

Deadline for entries is Sunday, January 18.
