edit data

John Purser was born in Glasgow in 1942 and now lives on Skye. He is a man of many parts: composer, musicologist, broadcaster, playwright and poet. His ground-breaking radio series and book, Scotland’s Music, is the essential authority on the subject, the 1992 edition of the latter winning the McVitie’s Prize for Scottish Writer of the Year. He has published several volumes of poetry and his collection There is No Night: New and Selected Poems (Kennedy and Boyd) was published in 2014. Of his many radio plays, Carver won a Giles Cooper Award and was published by Methuen. He has also recently released three CDs of his musical works.
