About this listen

 As a veteran traveller, Pete McCarthy has long been intrigued that the emigrant Irish can be found in all corners of the globe. Determined to pin down the mythical tales of his own clan history, Pete is thrust into a world-wide adventure that reveals an unsettled and poignant history, while unearthing a good pint in the most unexpected locations.


From the Holy Ground of Cork harbour, he travels to Gibraltar and Morocco, then onwards to New York, Tasmania, Montana, and the tiny Caribbean island of Montserrat, before finally reaching the remote Alaskan township of McCarthy, with its population of just 14 people and a lot more bears.

One of my favourite writers. Looking for your name sake places is a great purpose for a journey.
The places and people are both strange and familiarand remind me, when I think of my own half baked travels 40 years ago, how scary the world can be.
I was glad to have such an entertaining companion as Pete .

Made me want to travel.
