Oliver Kelleher to launch his book this evening in Castlebar

Well-known Castlebar businessman Oliver Kelleher will be launching his first book, 'Stay In The Drain', this evening. He will have his Castlebar launch upstairs in the banqueting suite in Johnny McHale’s pub on Newline, Castlebar at 7.30pm.

His memoir is sure to be a very sought-after title. The popular Leitrim native has had plenty of ups and downs through the years and in his book, he tells the story of a fascinating life.

From his upbringing on a small, Leitrim farm to helter-skelter years in Dublin to coming to Mayo to get married, rear a family and set-up a very successful business, Oliver’s story is one worth telling.

It is in the telling that this memoir stands out. Written in his quintessential gregarious style, this is a book that will have you laughing out loud as Oliver casts his eye over his own life, people he met along the way and life and society in Ireland and beyond with great observation and wit. He’s a straight shooter but, above all, despite all his setbacks, the book reveals a man with a very positive outlook on life and his memoir has plenty of life lessons in it. The book will be on sale in all good bookshops and online on mayobooks.ie.

There’s a great story about the title of the book too. Come to the launch or pick up a copy of the book to find out about ‘stay in the drain’. All are welcome to the launch. The legendary journalist Michael Commins, of The Mayo News, will be officially launching the book this evening.
