Interviews with Cork’s96fm and Midwest Radio

I was delighted to have been interviewed by Elmarie Mawe on Cork’s96fm Arts House programme. The great crime writer Cathrine Kirwan (and my great pal) was with me in the studio. You can listen back here.    Also interviewed by John Rea on Midwest Radio’ Sunday Show, talking about The Game on Sunday June 26th at 2.30pm.  You can listen back here (for a week, go to Sunday 2:30pm).    Also interviewed (briefly) by PJ Coogan with Eimear O’Herlihy on the Cork’s 96fm Opinion Line about the West Cork Literary Festival.  You can listen back here. 

The Game listed by Irish Independent

Lovely to see The Game on the Irish Independent list of: ‘The best books to read on your summer holidays’ Máire Treasa Ní Cheallaigh said: ‘Coakley helped me rediscover the soul of sport, while painting a rich tapestry of pivotal sporting moments in his own life. [The Game] is brave, deceptively deep, full of life lessons, and introspection in between trips to games. The dark side of sport is dissected, too … It’s all wrapped up in an unavoidable poignancy.’ Full list of books here.
