‘My stories replay the soundtrack of my life’ – The Undercover Soundtrack, Brendan Gisby
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on November 28, 2012
My guest this week had never realised his fiction was so closely tied to music, nor how much that meant it reflected the landmarks of his own life. Through significant songs he has peeled back the years to channel aspects of his family and upbringing, to flesh out the characters in his short stories and novels. He is McStorytellers founder Brendan Gisby and he’s on the Red Blog sharing his Undercover Soundtrack
