  • Jude: Level 1
    Jude: Level 1
    by Julian Gough

    My new novel. It starts with the award-winning, BBC broadcast prologue, "The Orphan and the Mob", and continues with Jude's quest for True Love in Tipperary, Galway, the Aran Islands, and Dublin... Love, death, arson, philosophy, and sex. Starring Jude, an orphan who looks the spit of Leonardo DiCaprio. Except for having two penises. Which makes True Love... complicated.

  • Juno and Juliet
    Juno and Juliet
    by Julian Gough

    My first novel, of which I am very fond. The adventures of teenage twin sisters Juno & Juliet, in their first year away from home. Life, love and literature, in Galway and Tipperary.

My eight year old spent the last visit back to see the grandparents in Galway singing the chorus to Galway Bay at the top of his voice

His grandfather had a proud look on his face as if to say ‘even though he is living in England he still knows Galway’

His grandmother looked quizzically

I went bright crimson

he is a big fan

Padraig, I'm wincing in sympathy. This is an increasing problem, as our original fans (and band members) make small children out of love and milk. Ask Aengus McMahon sometime to tell you some stories...

Hi Padraig,

My boy when he was three told the nursery school he could sing God save the Queen, yep you've guessed he sang them the Sex Pistols version. Luckily for me the teachers thought it was funny!

Bless them ... what would we do without them ... get out more I guess ;)
