A recording of a BBC Radio 4 programme entitled “The Art of Travel” (broadcast c.1990-1992) in which Annette Kobrak interviewed PLF for about 26 minutes concerning his early life and his journey to Constantinople. There is some good discussion about his travels after Between the Woods and the Water, about Bulgaria and into Constantinople.
I am indebted to David Turner for taking the time to convert this to digital and very successfully too – the sound quality is excellent!
You can listen online or download (press the downwards pointing arrow on the right hand side menu bar of the player).
I have updated the Video and Audio page with the programme. Don’t forget to visit to find more interviews with Paddy.

Hugely enjoyable, thank you so much!
Lovely. I’m curious if anyone knows the source of the excerpts of Paddy reading. The voice and accent sound very different.
wonderful!
What a brilliant find! Thank you Tom, and David.
