Description
Glasgow journalist Cliff Hanley's sparkling, unsentimental and uproarious account of growing up in the Gallowgate and Shettleston in the 1920s and 1930s, and his working life as a radio broadcaster and journalist in the 1940s and 1950s. A natural raconteur with a marvellous ear for dialect, Hanley brings alive the people and places of Scotland's largest city. His razor-sharp observations of family life, art and showbiz, as well as politics, sex, TB and being a conscientious objector during the Second World War, reveal Glasgow’s spirit at its finest.
