Talk by John R. Allan

It is always agreeable to hear again a popular radio voice which has been silent for some time because of its owner's war service. John R. Allan, a familiar broadcaster in Scottish programmes is now in the Army, and returns to the microphone this morning in a thoroughly 'escapist' talk which has nothing to do with the war. He will have for his subject the famous grey granite city of Aberdeen and the 'twal mile roun' ', and will interpret the individuality of that windswept north-eastern corner of Scotland - with due attention to the output of the legendary Joke Factory
