Bonus Episode - Book Club - Nicola Pierce

<p>A wee bit of a departure for the podcast with this bonus episode in that we are not telling the story of a band member. Books are a very important part of my life and especially history books, and two books that really grabbed me over the past few years were by Nicola Pierce, Behind the Walls and Kings of the Boyne. They give an insight into these two historical events that really helped me grasp the human side of the events and connect with characters that had really just been a reference point in regard to my knowledge of the events.</p><p>Nicola shares her experience of writing the books and the research that she put into both of them and what she has got personally from writing them.</p><p>I would definitely recommend getting the books and reading them and even passing them on to your kids to read as well, if you want to help young people connect with their history I can think of no better way than these two books to kickstart that process.</p><p>They are available on Amazon and all good bookshops. Make sure you check them out.</p><p>Our next book club episode will feature Billy Hutchinson and Gareth Mulvenna and we will be exploring Billy's life through his recent book "My Life in Loyalism"</p>
