WHAT PEOPLE SAY

If I’m honest, I was uncertain about making Boswell’s Galloping Farmers. It is, after all, more of a dramatised audio book than a full audio drama. Plus, it felt important to honour the man who wrote the original memoir and to do his story full justice. Quite a responsibility – and quite a task. But working with Martin Gallagher and John Boyd, it seems we pulled it off for listeners in different parts of the world. You can read some of their reactions here.

“I have already returned to Boswell’s Galloping Farmers since Christmas, and it is a truly wonderful series. The production value and the pictures the work painted in my mind’s eye have caused me to stay in my car listening to you long after my journey has ended. The second listening has led me to discover details I had missed the first time around and has caused me to sprinkle more of the delightful Scottish dialect into my everyday conversation. “

“Finished listening to BGFs! I really enjoyed it. Thought it was exquisitely told. You had an amazing actor for older Sandy. I hope you’re happy with it. A truly significant achievement mapping an historical global event to a local community.”

“This is amazing! The voice of the narrator is so convincing and the sound effects are brilliant... you feel the reality of it. Congratulations to you and your team.”

"A fantastic play.  You'd think you were there with them in this vivid account, through the eyes of young boys, forced to become men before their time in a grim passage of history we should never let be forgotten."

“I've just been listening to Boswell Episodes 1 & 2. They are very moving and so true to the written diaries and what life out there must have been like. Plus the music and sounds. Can't wait for the other instalments.

Well done to all the team!!”

"Just finished your series. Actually greeting. It was brilliant."
