Demarco at 92

Tonight on BBC Scotland there is a documentary on the iconic Scottish arts entrepreneur Richard Demarco who has been involved in the Edinburgh Fringe since its inception in 1947. He  brought people such as Joseph Beuys and Marina Abramovic to Scotland when they were unknown.
Today they are superstars in the art world.
 
Here’s a trailer of another documentary made about him last year. 
 
Among Ricky, as he is known, many talents is a gift for communication and he is very media savvy, as any journalist, and there are dozens, if not hundreds of us, who have had any contact with him over the years can vouch for.
