‘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

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
