TwoMacs Podcast Ep24 Micky Carolan
Micky Carolan recalls life in Coalisland going back to the 1950s, a time of happy school days, when kids learned to swim in the canal, local coal mines were operating, many shopkeepers lived in the town and future World snooker champion Dennis Taylor sold ice cream at the cinema on Lineside.
He also tells the tragic story of his Grandfather Michael McGinty who was killed in an attack up an entry on Main Street in 1922: his assailant was jailed for three years for manslaughter.
And great adventures, including a brush with death in a Microlite on the Mull of Kintyre, falling off roofs when cleaning chimneys as well as the founding of the CRAIC Theatre and taking guests on barges down the Blackwater. A highly interesting and entertaining podcast.
