Margaret Tait

Placeholder for Margaret Tait blue plaque

Margaret Tait 1918 - 1999 filmmaker & poet. As with many 16mm filmmakers, Margaret Tait's soundtracks were recorded separately. Tait made great efforts to capture the precise sounds needed for her inventive soundtracks and often kept detailed notes of the recordings made. 12 Jan, 4.30 - 5pm, 1963: 'record: starlings under the North Bridge on a Sunday afternoon + a little traffic and not much other noise'.
