A documentary slice of Donald S Murray's life in Shetland, narrated in Jamaican by Audrey West. Alongside samples of Donald's Gaelic poetry and conversation, this film contributes to a small collection which forms one part of an extension series of the Island Voices project, in which its "capture and curation" model is used for more languages in addition to English and Gaelic. (NB The YouTube subtitling function does not yet recognise Jamaican, so the subtitles here, while conforming with the approved Cassidy-JLU orthography for the Jamaican language, are filed under the title "English".)
