Danny Gill

Danny Gill was born and bred in the old slum tenements in Glasgow’s South Side. His years as a bricklayer took him half way round the world. His story recounts his travels, the ladies in his life and his fondness for a drink and tells of his life in Irish politics resulting in death threats against him. While building bricks in all sorts of weather, he also managed a more steady side to his life when he got married and had three daughters. After a career of 46 years, a combination of wear and tear coupled with the worst recession in living memory forced him into retirement but he never regrets a moment and now has more time to spend with his wonderful family and five grandchildren to date.

Metallica Classic Songs for Bass

This book tells of the upheaval of families and where they all went to when the clearance of the old tenement buildings in the Gorbals/Oatlands areas happened. Different people tell their stories of how the clearance affected them and where they moved to, be it to the new housing schemes that were built on the outskirts of Glasgow or maybe immigrating to another country or perhaps returning to the ancestral home in Ireland. Of course others stayed in the soo-side and when their tenement was due to be demolished they moved into some of the high rise tower blocks that were springing up.

Metallica: Classic Songs for Guitar (Songbook)

Everyone has good memories of their growing up, and mine was a wonderful one of my childhood in the era of the old tenements buildings in the Gorbals and Oatlands area in the south side of Glasgow. Every day for us was like an adventure with so many things to do and our street games could last all day long (especially in the school summer holidays). There were no computers, video games and mobile phones etc in those days and TV was only in its infancy, so all our energy was spent playing out in the open. In my book I try to tell our story of what life was like in that era through my poems, peoples stories and songs we sang in the streets. All this, I hope, brings back happy memories to people of my generation who lived through these times, and a future generation that I want to leave my memories with.
