FROM THE SLEEVE: "Once upon a sunny June afternoon a group of poets and singers gathered at a house for a private party. A spare room had miraculously been converted into a recording studio and with a background of birdsong and the sporadic pop of a beer can the readings flowed into evening."

This recording, track 8 Robert Garioch reads his poem "Sisyphus".

His poetry was written almost exclusively in the Scots language, he was a key member in the literary revival of the language in the mid-20th century. However, his biggest influences were the 18th-century poet Robert Fergusson and the Italian dialect sonneteer Giuseppe Gioachino Belli. 

He was a member of The Heretics poetry and music group. This was recorded by Heritage Records in 1975.
