Anora
Sean Bakerās latest film Anora is as much a hysterical romp as it is a profound character study. Film review by Jack Weir
An interesting article. Many thanks to Ruby! I knew most of them but not in the first photograph!
Good Afteroon. Today I had an email from Willie Matheson, of Ardgay’s widow, May. She wrote that they had music from the BBA at Willie’s Farewell in Perth. I have a few memories of the band as my chum and I used to go to the dances in Bonar and Ardgay in the early 70s. The later photo brings back a few names to memory and it is grand to see Murry Macleod mentioned.
I enclose my email with y married name. I am Margaret A. MacKay from South Balkeith, Fendom, Tain
