James Galway - An Autobiography

This is an unnecessary book. It has been. ghosted by Max Caulfield and appears to be based on edited trannscripts of taped conversations with, or monologues by, James Galway during and. after .convalescence following his reecent smash-up. Whoever Max Caulfield is, he has not managed to achieve the first requirement of a ghost-writer, which is to.get inside his subject. The reesult brings little credit to either him or Galway.

The National Concert Hall Fiasco

ON 1ST JUNE Mr. Pearse Wyse, T.D., Minister for State at the Department of Finance, was pleased. Pleased to annnounce that Messrs. Cramptons would shortly be moving into the Great Hall of UCD in Earlsfort Terrace to convert it into a Concert Hall. Presumably Crampptons were pleased, too, since the conntract is reputedly for over a million pounds, and particularly because they built the original facade of Earlsfort Terrace in 1914. Nice to be back.
