HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2009

Homecoming Scotland 2009—HIGHLIGHTS of the year included a few BBC radio programmes,‘Musical Genes’ with Tom Morton (some leading questions about being part of a musical family and having a very musical child—sadly missed though his joyous music lives on); ‘Sunday Morning With Richard Holloway’and some TV moments, including Hiort (about St Kilda) and Newsnight Scotland (talking about Homecoming Year). Sincere thanks to everyone who emailed and phoned—there was such a warm-hearted, enthusiastic response to these programmes I am amazed at folk listening to repeats in the middle of the night —that means after midnight at this stage in my life! see more
