The 48th edition of the Thelma Tapes features two more working life histories from Leith's Pilmeny Development Project, an organisation which supports and assists senior members of our community who may be facing social isolation.
In this episode we hear from Joe McAvoy and Fred Mackenzie (from 12min 36 sec) both of whom began their working lives as apprentices in local Leith industries.
