Between Two Countries Book Launch 2 - Vogue Bar Rutherglen

Sharkey’s sold out in under two days, so we’re doing it all again, this time in Rutherglen!

Join me in my local, the freshly renovated Vogue Bar, for a second evening of music, stories, food and banter to celebrate the launch of my book, Between Two Countries: An Irish Boy From the Gorbals.

📍 The Vogue Bar, Rutherglen
📅 Friday 27 November 2026
🕖 7pm

A week after our night at Sharkey’s, we’ll be bringing the celebrations to Rutherglen, with the same format and a different singer providing the live music.

We’ll have a guest hosting the evening, a reading from the book, an interview about the stories behind it, and an audience Q&A. There’ll be food on the night and plenty of time for a chat.

The book brings together the Gorbals and Donegal through a story of family, childhood and belonging. It’ll be lovely to share it with some familiar faces in my own local.

🎟️ The event is free to attend, with no obligation to reserve or buy a book. Booking is required, with just 120 tickets available through the ticket link. If the Sharkey’s night is anything to go by, don’t leave it too long!

📖 If you’d like a copy of the book, there’s an optional reservation when booking your free ticket. The book costs £12: pay £7 when reserving, then the remaining £5 in cash on the night.

I’ll be happy to sign your copy, just come over and say hello!

Whether you missed out on Sharkey’s, fancy joining us again, or just want a good night out with music and company, you’re very welcome.

Bring your pals and help me celebrate. Would be lovely to see you there!
