Welcome to Jim & Pat’s Glasgow West End Chat - Episode 102. 

Today, Pat chats with Billy Kay – writer, broadcaster, multi-award-winning producer and promoter of the Scots language.

Billy has a new book called 'Born in Kyle: A Love Letter to an Ayrshire Childhood.' I recommend it wholeheartedly; we attended a recent event at Glasgow University where he read from it and regaled us with many hilarious tales from his childhood.

Check out Billy's website for his full biography, more great books, and details about upcoming events.
