Scots monologues now online

7th December 2009

Traditional musician, Nigel Gatherer, has collected a number of Scots monologues on his web site. The Monologue was a popular comic form in the 19th and early 20th century. Many were recorded and Nigel has uploaded a number to his web site in their written form for new audiences to enjoy. A popular favourite, The Deputation to the Minister, provides a good introduction to the genre for anyone that hasn’t encountered it before.
