Oisin McGann: The Wisdom of Dead Men

Oisin McGann’s book, Strangled Silence, was shortlisted for the Falkirk RED awards and he came over from Ireland especially for the ceremony. We thought it would be a shame if we just let him fly home again without even asking if he would be prepared to do an extra two events in Scotland.

On 28th January we took Oisin McGann to West Lothian where he did two events - one at Amrmadale Academy and the other at Inveralmond Community High School.

You can find out more about Oisin and his work on his website.
