Publisher's Synopsis

Before the 1970s flipped the switch to colour, Irish children were raised in a world of black, white and an awful lot of grey. But kids, being kids, found endless ways to have fun. Do you remember Dáithì Lacha, Radio Caroline and holidays in Butlin's Mosney? Then this is the book for you!

Damian Corless takes us on a tongue-in-cheek trip down memory lane to the age of Let's Draw With Bláithìn, instant mashed potato and 'Yellow Submarine'. Set against a backdrop of the space race and the miniskirt, this is a delightful celebration of the days we thought would never end (and some we're glad are gone forever).
