	Ah belang tae Glasgow..............by John McBarron
AVAILABLE NOW		John McBarron was born in 1928 into a family that fared no better than others in the poverty-stricken East End of Glasgow. As was the fate of many he failed to escape the scourge of the tenements, tuberculosis, and was hospitalised in Mearnskirk sanatorium at the age of three. After four years of cosseted treatment he emerged into the bleak world that was the tenement culture of Bridgeton.

He grew up in the shadow of the Celtic Football Club whose success in those early years helped to relieve the stress of the pervasive poverty.

His parents, who had gleaned a living from street hawking from a barrow, were now the owners of a small general store (the wee shop) just down the road from Celtic Park.

This was the centre of his early life where he was exposed first-hand to the pain of the community trying to make ends meet via the pawn shop...............

The book hit Glasgow high streets in September 2004 and by December 2004 almost sold out!!!
A second edtion is being rushed through and John also hopes to write a second book as a follow-up to
'Ah belang tae Glesga'.

.......... relates the author's right of passage in Glasgow's East End.
Emerging after 4 years of treatment in the years leading up to World-War II, all of the gritty reality, violence, yet indefatigable humour that is woven into the "Glesga" cultural fabric is portrayed faithfully.
In the not too distant world that had no television and little radio, "ra peepul" relied on their own self-made entertainment, the occasional cinema trip but especially the weekly tribal battles know as the 'fitba' and 'ra dancin''. Alternately moving and laugh-out-loud funny, the author perfectly conveys the mood of the times and the character and spirit with which every Scot can identify.
