Marty Morrissey - GAA broadcaster extraordinaire and one of the
hardest-working people in show business - has been to every corner
of Ireland (and a few interesting ones further afield) in his
illustrious career. Everywhere he goes, he makes friends and hears
terrific stories - and sometimes he becomes a character in them.
Now he's sharing them with us, in a book full of his trademark
warmth, wit and energy. Starting with his childhood in the Bronx
and west Clare, Marty introduces us to the people and places that
have mattered most to him. He takes us through his adventures as a
Gaelic footballer and hurler, schoolteacher, and coach of schools
teams and underage sides for his beloved club, Kilmurry Ibrickane.
And he tells the story of his remarkable rise as a broadcaster,
from the back of tractors and trailers flatbed trucks to Croke Park
on All Ireland finals days - despite having being told by RTE Sport
that his voice on an early audition tape was 'too thin, too
high-pitched'. Now, having established himself as a beloved figure
across the full spectrum of the Irish airwaves, Marty is ready to
show us who he really is. It's Marty! is an invitation to join the
Marty Party, a rollicking ride through contemporary Irish life and
sport, from a true national treasure. _______________________
