Studio Guest – A C Wier’s son Raymond – Sun 27 May 6pm with Gavin Paterson to talk about his fathers album
Glaswegian AC Weir releases his debut album  on Greentrax at 77 years of age… This album is selling like hot-cakes!

 

‘All the songs on This Has Been Me Since Yesterday’ were written by Alex Weir, who in his spare time accumulated a significant body of work over the years. Original versions of his songs were recorded on an old reel-to-reel tape recorder at various points from the mid-1960s to the early 1990s, but were never designed for public consumption.

Towards the end of the recording process, Alex was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), a progressive brain disorder which impacts on behaviour, cognition and movement. LBD presents itself through a range of symptoms, including problems with thinking, memory and visual hallucinations. One of its characteristics is that it can become rapidly debilitating and, since the album was completed, Alex has deteriorated to the point where he now requires full-time nursing care.
