VIDEO: David Tennant Reads Fare Well Part 2 For Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2020

The second part of Fare Well has been released online this evening. David Tennant is one of the narrators of the new poem by Jackie Kay that bids farewell to 2020 and wishes a better year for 2021.

Whilst part one of Fare Well looked at the year that’s gone by, the second phase turns to look at us today and to give thanks for the many acts of community and kindness displayed by so many across the country. Jackie Kay’s narrative takes an optimistic tone, reflecting on the good of the human spirit and the sense of togetherness that has emerged from 2020. Part two of Fare Well includes images of “WE” in the skies above Edinburgh – a message from Scotland of universality and commonality – with “WE” translated into many languages including French, Gaelic, Arabic, Greek, Korean, Mandarin and Thai.
