The US Ambassador to the UK, Matthew Barzun, at Groucho's.
It has welcomed any number of stars over the years, and now Dundee’s legendary music store Groucho’s has an unlikely new fan — the US ambassador to the UK.
Matthew Barzun was in the city for a lecture at Dundee University on Wednesday evening but clearly found time to indulge his passion for music — browsing for bargains among the shelves of the Nethergate institution.
The ambassador no doubt has exquisite taste. But what might he have been looking for? Here’s our guide to the top ambassadorial recordings:
