I have been involved with recording music and events in the Findhorn Foundation Community again and again over the decades.

I am delighted to share here a programme I made for the BBC in 1994: a Prime Time Radio Documentary about the early development of original music at the Findhorn Community, it was broadcast on Tuesday 11th Oct 1994 on BBC Radio 2. It was a delight to bring together the recollections of musicians that created a vibrant culture in the 1970s. ….

 

 

 

From the Radio Times:

Comedian David Copperfield (pictured) discusses the unique music of Scotland’s Findhorn community, known for its organic gardens on barren sand-dunes and its spiritual values. With contributions from the performers, songwriters and musicians who reveal the community’s special inspiration.
