Hugh MacDiarmid reads from A Drunk Man Looks At The Thistle backed by Throbbing Thistle.
Originally from the album Rhythm & Bombast and now featured in the Reckless compilation Now That’s What I Call Scotland.
A Drunk Man Looks At Throbbing Thistle (part 5)
Love the poetry, thank you! I knew nothing of MacDiarmid before now. I’ve tried to track a copy online but I wonder if the excerpts are from the two hour reading mentioned here?

The very first line is from someone else’s poem if this is accurate:

Never dreich eyein an earin yer ditties.
Cheers. The excerpts are probably from that reading. It was freely available online years ago and I used it for all the parts that I’ve done so far on the Rhythm & Bombast album.
