Foreword quote ...".........
I first met Jim McCool when he was a member of the Armagh crew coming to PogueMahone
gigs in the early eighties. At the time, he was a semi-legendary figure in the audience, slamdancing
and banging his head against the stage, whilst drinking huge quantities of cider. This
was the early McCool, a true Gaelic hero, worthy of his name…
As time progressed, we all got older, maybe wiser, maybe not…
McCool started to develop a talent for writing short stories … a literary figure in a pink drape
jacket, with star potential.
His lust for life is reflected in his writing style, and in the content of his stories, which are hardhitting
pieces of poetry in prose form, which concentrate on the Irish in London and the
‘London-Irish’.
He is a man who manages to blend the lunacy and lecherousness of rock ‘n’ roll culture onto
the written page. He is the most exciting writer I have read in many years.
But I think I’ve probably said enough… McCool’s stories speak for themselves.
Shane MacGowan, Spring 1994..............." end quote from new edition.
