What’s Tha Playing at Nah?

Who will you meet on the journey? Well, there’s the usual myriad of lovable characters, from Big Derek the doorman and Mr Dar the tailor to ‘Caribbean-singing Henry’ and cross-dressing ‘Doreen’; and not forgetting Cecil the resident barman at ‘Mucky Mary’s’; Marlene the prostitute, and ‘old Fred’ the tramp. Among the less savory are Mr. Dirty Bastard, Mr. Car Thief, Mr. Money-grabber aka Nasty Pimp, Mr. Sticky Fingers the burglar and Mr. Nasty the rapist; and several ‘perverts’ of the worst kind.

As usual, Martyn’s down-to-earth honesty and humor shines through the pages; but he never loses sight of the human condition in all its forms: good, bad, sad and happy.
