Subject: RE: Obit: Michael Gough, actor (1916-2011)
That's another of the good ones gone...RIP
On a folkie note, Michael did a reading on "The Complete Dancing Master" by Ashley Hutchings and John Kirkpatrick. He read an extract from "The Analysis of Beauty" by William Hogarth - beautifully.
Well worth getting hold of that album, because apart from the music, which is great, there are other readings by respected actors. The star turn IMHO is a piece fom "Sketches by Boz" read by the wonderful Michael Hordern. Apparently the fee paid for a fishing trip which he postponed!
