Rooted deeply in Glasgow's rich culture, The First of May, branches into myriad topics that cast a harrowing shadow upon contemporary life. A powerful memoir that is irrevocably certain to sow seeds of riveting discussion about coming of age, socialism, and the importance of the arts, politics, and people.

Penned in a lyrical voice that confirms the depth of his introspective insight, his riveting reflection on his experiences charts a piercing perspective on modern life. Over the course of this specific May Day, Brendan reflects upon his storied life and takes readers on a journey that delves a profound delve into his experiences of life in the real Glasgow, with its intricate social, cultural and political history, with its tragedies, its songs and stories, its political debates, and fights for social justice, its deprivation and struggles for improvement, always with family never far from mind.
