Previous Episode: Henry Spurway - A Life in Showbusiness & Gambling
Jean recalls growing up in the 1950s and 60s in Glasgow. One of a family of nine life was not always easy. We hear about eking out the weekly meals with bread, going for the daily 'messages' and shopping at the Barras and Paddy's market. Playing on the street, in a graveyard but rarely in the back green. Her father singing in a big band and her mother being a tailoress. Then there is living in Gorbals, Govan and Castlemilk. Evocative, honest and clear memories of a changing Glasgow.
