News
As Wick Voices has developed and grown, different aspects of the project have featured regularly in local newspaper articles in the John O'Groat Journal and Caithness Courier. We have also had coverage in the regional press, and even nationally in the journal of the Oral History Society. As well as being of interest to readers in their own right, these news items have allowed us to spread the word about Wick Voices and encourage people to explore the recordings for themselves.
