Audio Tours in 2006

- an audioguide written and produced by Alan Hall

for HMS Belfast, now a musuem ship moored in the

Pool of London.  It features sound archive from the

Imperial War Museum (including Captain Parnham

who commanded the ship during the sinking of the

Scharnhorst and the Normandy Landings) and new

recordings with veterans who served during the

Korean War and subsequently.

 

- a tour narrated by Fiona Shaw is for the permanent

collection of the Dublin City Art Gallery The Hugh Lane. 

 

- a guide featuring the artists Brian O'Doherty (aka

Patrick Ireland) for the Patrick Ireland retrospective

which opened in May 2006 at the Dublin City Gallery

The Hugh Lane.

 

- to supplement the existing audio available at the

Roman Baths in Bath, we've recorded the travel writer

Bill Bryson's musings and reflections on visiting the site.
