Product Description
Hilarious!
June Imray, The Torry Quine, is one of the most popular performers ever to encapsulate the humour of the North East of Scotland.
Brought up in Torry, on the south-east side of Aberdeen, June grew up in a community that, even within the city, is regarded as unique. Best known for its former fishing community, Torry has produced people with tremendous strength of character and, most of all, wonderful humour.
After graduating from the University of Aberdeen, June became the first BBC TV announcer with a Scottish accent. Not bad for a 'wee Torry quine'!
She returned home to become one of the best known faces on Grampian Television and decided to celebrate her North East roots by writing and recording songs and poetry that reflected the special humour of the people she had grown-up with.
The result was two albums and live performances to packed audiences throughout the North East. Those LP's sold-out many years ago - but this 22 track album contains her most popular material, which will be instantly recognisable to thousands, and much loved by a new generation.
Enjoy the unique sound of The Torry Quine!
All words and lyrics to the songs and poems on the CD, plus many more songs, poems and short stories can be found on the accompanying book - also called 'The Best of The Torry Quine'. It even contains a Torry Quine Glossary of 300 words and phrases - so even those not entirely familiar with the local dialect will get every joke! Just like the CD, it is available on Amazon, and is also eligible for FREE Super Saver Delivery, plus all the usual benefits for Amazon PRIME customers. Once you have added the CD to your shopping basket, just go to the lisiting for the book and click on 'More buying Options' to take advantage.

Purchased this for part of my 83 year old Dad's Christmas present, as he is a Torry loon. It brought back memories for me too, as a 53 year old, as I remember June well from Grampian TV. A perfect gift for any Aberdonian of a certain age, and especially fitting for all Torry loons and quines - full of nostalgic memories.
Having bought this is a gift I have not listened to it, but from past experience expect it will be very entertaining, if a little dated maybe!? Fun buy, nothing more..
