A Belfast Child - John Chambers

Bestselling author of A Belfast Child, John Chambers, joins Andy this week to tell his remarkable story growing up during the troubles in Northern Ireland. It's almost incredible to believe that this all happened only a few decades ago, but John's story is a powerful account of an era where violence, murders and knee capping were all too common. His journey from the Glencairn estate to London, and his ultimate search for his mother, is a harrowing tale but also one of hope and redemption and told with a Belfast wit and humour that belies the inevitable scars that it left. Hope you enjoy it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
