Frail pate wings for the winds to try;

Ten talks in which Ray Gosling tells the story of his travels overland to the East.
8: Disco Queen of Burma ' Me and my Burmese friend had lost £10 on the black market. We'd met a dealer in the People's Patisserie on Bogyoke Street, Rangoon, but before my friend could make the transaction he was picked-up by the plainclothes police on a zebra crossing. They confiscated the goods - a pair of Dunlop tennis shoes. To cheer ourselves up, we bought some Mandalay beer from the People's Brewery. And played that cassette again - of the Disco Queen of Burma. Very good - like Helen Shapiro. '
The Lanarkshire Lithuanians
Tsarist oppression in late 19th-century Lithuania resulted in mass emigration. Hundreds of people took the shipping route from the Baltic to Leith, then on to America via the Clyde. But at least 6.000 stayed in Lanarkshire, attracted by the prospects of work in the steelworks and coalfields. Bellshill became Little Lithuania in the heart of industrial Scotland.
Three generations of Scottish Lithuanians tell the story of their community. Researcher MURDOCH ROGERS Producer BILLY KAY
