Friends were invited by the staff at the Glasgow Museums
shop to Afternoon Tea at the St Enoch Centre on the 11th October. The
room in which we met was comfortable and decorated with art work from schools. We
had come for a conversation with John Byrne about his work as an artist and
author and the questions covered a variety of topics and were answered with
grace and humour. Many of us left with
signed postcards of his portrait of Billy Connolly and copies of his book. It
was a pleasant afternoon and we thank Catherine McGurk for organising it and
for chairing the meeting.
