John Cairney (1) (1930–2023)

An enjoyable read but I guess JC is a much better actor than he is a writer. I found it a touch sentimental at times with a tendency to wander around the history rather than focus on a timeline and relate some interesting incidents within that. Perhaps I am a touch OCD.

I did skim read it in front of the fire on a very cold afternoon - quite a good way to pass the time!

cairney has a lovely style - a little old fashioned , but he, I suspect, would see that as a mark of distiction. anheymaybe he is right.
His descriptions of life in an around the glasgow tenaments of his youth and childhood are memorable.
