James E interviews author Frank McGroarty

Author, broadcaster, former ballroom dancer and indylive.radio DJ Frank "Frankie boy" McGroarty has just released the third of his trilogy of books based on his time as a redcoat at Butlins Ayr.  In this interview, James E and Frank chat about the creative process, what it was really like working at Butlins (spoiler:  yes, people regularly asked "what time is the midnight show on") and which of the characters is most closely based on Frank himself. Frank has a website www.frankmcgroarty.com and his three books, "What time does the Midnight cabaret start", "how do you get the donkey up the stairs" and "don't mention hi-de-hi" are available at good bookshops. #indyliveradio #authorInterviews #FrankMcGroarty
