Synopsis:

Every Sunday morning, for almost thirty years, we've spread the butter on our toast to the sound of many a strange tale: tales about bees and onions, about meeting Pele, about working at the Ritz; tales about small towns in Wyoming and encouters in Iran, Christmas puddings and Horslips and lobsters...We've met the real Big Tom and gone walking on water, seen a sunset with smudges and a light in the dark...Listening to Sunday Miscellany on RTE Radio 1 is a familiar Sunday morning ritual for the thousands of people who tune in regularly to hear contributions which range from personal reminisces to the praise of heroes, from sporting highlights to historical events, from humorous interludes to poignant memories. Sunday Miscellany: A Selection brings together known and lesser-known writers in a celebration of the rich fabric of life and culture, the inventiveness of the human voice and the scope of the human mind, including the most memorable pieces from the last five years. There are familiar names here, from Peter Jankowsky to Frances Donoghue, Michael Harding to Cyril Kelly, Nuala Hayes to Sam McAughtry. And there are some not so familiar, the other voices that mingle and merge to create this grand and impressive miscellany.
