What went on in London this week: Burns Night bashes and Alastair Campbell's secret talent

Grace Campbell and Alastair Campbell host Burns Night celebration at the Zetter in Clerkenwell -

Dry January naysayers donned tartan and downed whisky on Sunday to toast the Scottish poet (and notorious soak) Robert Burns. At comedian Grace Campbell’s Burns Night dinner, the evening’s entertainment came from her dad, a kilted-up Alastair Campbell, who gave a rousing performance on the bagpipes. Designer Henry Holland, writer Hannah Crosbie and actor Michelle de Swarte were among guests at the Zetter in Clerkenwell.
