Books by Julian Gough

Julian Gough was born in London in 1966. His family returned to Ireland when he was seven. He was educated by the Christian Brothers in Tipperary back in the days when they were still allowed to throw you across the room. He has a degree in Philosophy and English. Two days spent converting chickens into chicken nuggets in a fast-food joint made him a conscientious objector to paid employment. He therefore spent his twenties on the dole. During this time, his band, Toasted Heretic, played London, Paris and New York while producing 4 cult LPs and an Irish Top Ten single. This led to his dole being cut by ?7 a week. Gough went on to co-write the successful stage-play Peig: the Musical! He lives in Galway. Juno & Juliet is his first book.
