Really pleased to see actors of the calibre of Ardal O'Hanlon and Adrian Dunbar reading extracts of the interviews I carried out with Irish homeless in London in the 1990s. These will be part of an exhibition which will tour the UK in November. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jimmccool_irishinbritain50-heritage-diaspora-activity-7100624173802090496-dguh?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

In the mid-1990s I carried out a series of interviews with #homeless Irishmen living in Arlington House hostel in #London's Camden Town. Now the transcripts of those interviews are being brought back to life by the Irish in Britain project.
