A Casual Life by Euron Griffith
This is no ordinary memoir. Euron Griffith has lied to David Cassidy, seen his dreams of pop stardom being torn to shreds (quite literally) by the crowds at Glastonbury, and found himself at the wrong end of a shotgun… An avid music fan from a young age, A Casual Life is centred around six particularly memorable band t-shirts owned by Griffith as he grew older (but not necessarily wiser). From the disastrous first (and last) gig by his debut band, through to his eventual deal with a major label, from life growing up in pre-internet north Wales (when even pop radio couldn’t make it past the mountains) to the smoky clubs of Soho, this is a story of how music gets into the soul and how it helps us cope with all life throws our way. You may not have been there. You may not have the T-shirts. But now, at least, you can read all about it.
Born in Bangor, Euron Griffith has a Creative Writing MA from the University of Glamorgan. He has published three novels in Welsh – 'Dyn Pob Un' (about a TV researcher who becomes an accidental serial killer), 'Leni Tiwdor' (about a private eye who is also a record collector) and 'Tri Deg Tri' (about a hitman who can talk to animals), and a children’s novel 'Eilian a’r Eryr'. His English language short story collection, 'The Beatles in Tonypandy' (Dean Street Press) appeared in 2017. He had published two novels in English with Seren ‘Miriam Daniel and Me’ (2020) and ‘The Confession of Hilary Durwood’ (2023). Griffith lives in Cardiff, where he works as a radio and tv producer and plays in a band.
