Interviewees
Here is some background information on our interviewees featured in this week's episode:
PROFESSOR GERARD CARRUTHERS
Gerard Carruthers is the Head of the Department of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow, and co-organiser of the Robert Burns International Conference, held annually at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow.
ALEX GRAY
Alex Gray (her pen name) was briefly a folk singer as a student in Glasgow. Her first job was a visiting officer for the DSS in Govan. She then spent a decade teaching English.
The chance to fulfil her ambition to be a writer arrived when illness forced her to stop teaching. She joined a local writer’s workshop and is still an enthusiastic participant. Eventually she decided to tackle her first crime novel. "I wrote a crime novel because I liked to read them", she said. "I’ve always loved the element of mystery and I’m very interested in people and their motivation – why do people do these terrible things?
She takes her research for her books very seriously and has her own network of contacts in the legal professions to help ensure authenticity.
She is cofounder of the Scottish Crime Writing Festival, Bloody Scotland.
CONSOL EFOMI
Consol developed his passion for dance in his home in the Congo. The son of a diplomat, his family was widely travelled. His privileged background contrasted with his subsequent life when he arrived in Glasgow as an asylum seeker.
In Scotland, he worked for the Destiny Church in Glasgow, helping homeless people and those with drug addictions. To help lift their morale, he started giving occasional hip-hop dance performances.
While in his final year at university, studying for a BA degree in Business Studies with Enterprise, Consol won a place in Entrepreneurial Spark’s Gorbals Hatchery. E Spark provides resources and advice for business start ups with strong potential.
Consol’s initiative, Make That Move provides dance videos as an educational resource for professional and novice dancers, instructors and professional choreographers. His website and app provide a platform to enable professional dancers to submit their videos, which can be bought and downloaded via Apple and Android applications.
JOHN LAWRIE MORRISON OBE
John Lowrie Morrison is one of Scotland’s best known living artists. For many years Session Clerk of his local congregation, John trained to become a Reader (Lay Preacher) in the Church of Scotland in order to allow him to use his skills as a preacher in an official and wider context.
After gaining a diploma in education at Jordanhill College, he began a 25-year teaching career in Argyll in 1973. In 1997 he decided to earn a living as a full-time painter. His work became hugely popular and his prodigious output sells in galleries across the UK and is widely reproduced on mugs, cards and calendars.
Through his JoLoMo Foundation, he supports new landscape artists.
He is a Patron of the Princess Royal Trust for Carers. -
