T.P.McKENNA, RADIO ACTOR
Stephen McKenna writes....
My father, the actor TP McKenna, was in and out of the BBC Radio studios for the best part of five decades, appearing in dramas, short story and poetry readings, however we have next to no archive for this part of his output, even though it was amongst his final and most subtle work.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone that might have samples of his work or can point me in the right direction.
He loved doing radio work and yet the website I’ve created in tribute to his career (www.tpmckenna.com) is so short on examples of this.
