Brendan Harris spent his childhood in semi-rural Ireland in the 1940s and went on to join the Merchant Navy--a career cut short by a horrific road accident. Now, at the age of twenty-three, he--as the saying went at the time--'takes the boat' leaving Ireland to make his fortune in Liverpool.In this, the third book of the 'An Irish Lad' series, we follow Brendan as he takes up lodgings with a lonely landlady in Bootle, gets a temporary job as store man in a department store in the city, goes to football matches and dancing, meets girls and visits the now famous Cavern Club. With a surprising turn of events, Brendan starts a new career and a new life.Written in David's relaxed, humorous style, Brendan Ashore offers an insight into life in the 1960s in the north of England--as seen through the eyes of 'An Irish Lad'.
