Isabel Ballantine et al (1987) The Singer Strike, Clydebank 1911.

Posted by celticman on Tue, 27 Oct 2026

The Singer Strike Clydebank, 1911 , is a booklet produced by The Glasgow Labour History Workshop for those of us that can’t manage a whole book. I’m old enough to remember Singer Sewing Machine Factory. At its peak in the mid-1960s, it employed around 16 000 workers. Clydebank Business park which replaced it in the mid-seventies…well, let’s just say—with many units empty and more being demolished—it was a good idea that employed a handful of...

Bel (2026), BBC Scotland, BBCiPlayer, Director Louise Lockwood.

Posted by celticman on Mon, 26 Oct 2026

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0032lrl/bel I hadn’t heard of Bel (Beldina Odenyo) the Scots-Kenyan who performed under the title Heir of the Cursed. There’s no reason why I should.

A small presence in a small body with a big voice that demands to be heard. Bel...

He lay looking straight up at the ceiling tiles. Then the shaking took him. It started in his hands on top of the blanket and went up his arms into his shoulders and his jaw, a fine hard shudder that rattled the side rail against its catch. He turned his head on the pillow and saw the IV pole standing beside the bed against the dim of the doorway, tall and thin, with the bag hung near the top of it and the light from the hall showing through,...

Maggie O’Farrell (2026) Land

Posted by celticman on Sat, 24 Oct 2026

I was a big fan of Maggie O’Farrell’s autobiographical writing, I Am, I Am, I Am . Yet I couldn’t stomach more than a few pages of her multi-award winning bestseller—and soon to be adapted as a film— Hamnet. Land rekindled my love affair with O’Farrell’s writing. Epic is usually associated with books over 400 pages. Boring is another. But O’Farrell squeezing so much into such little space, the Irish Famine ( An Gorta Mór ) and its ripple effects...
