Promo for Ian Stephens’ “Diary of A Trademark” Book

Ian Stephens, poet, founding member of Montreal band Wining Dining & Drilling, and AIDS activist (whose life was cut short by the disease in 1996) was also a regular contributor to the show Queer Corps on CKUT

This promo is priceless – captures what we could get away with on community radio in the 90s if you were creative enough to explore the opportunity.

This was a promo that aired on CKUT for an event to launch his book “Diary of A Trademark” at the Stornoway Gallery in Montreal. The other voice is that of DJ Mike Williams.
