My McTell talk, which includes vintage and recent photographs plus audio recordings, will be in Room 16 at Islesburgh Community Centre, Lerwick, Shetland ZE1 0EQ,‎ from 4.45pm till 6pm on Saturday September 4. Tickets £5 and £3.50 are on sale now from Shetland Box Office, telephone from within the UK = 01595 745 555; from outside the UK it's +44 1595 745 555.
