DANCING IN THE STREETS: THE CLASSIC GLASGOW MEMOIR (PB)

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.
