TOM MCGRATH AT 26

In this fascinating 1967 documentary about the counterculture in London, the Scotsman interviewed is my friend Tom McGrath, who was editor of International Times, a.k.a. I.T.

It’s a strange feeling for me to watch and listen to the 26-year-old Tom. I didn’t meet him until 1988, by which time a lot of hard living (including heroin addiction) had left him bearing no physical resemblance to the man in the film. His voice, however, was unchanged.
