Recordings

Three Texts for Tape, recorded at home in Glasgow in 1978 using Tom's Teac A-3340S tape recorder.

Tom writes: 'The recording was made in Glasgow in the late 1990s by someone then compiling a programme for Danish radio about Scottish poetry. He later sent me a tape of nora's place though I don't know if it was actually broadcast.'
