    Episode 8 - Terry Watson - Pass Tartan and Donegall Pass in the early 1970s
    Mar 31 2021
    In this episode of Hidden Histories I have released an interview with Terry Watson that I conducted on 25 July 2013 as part of my research for the book Tartan Gangs and Paramilitaries. Sadly Terry died in December 2020 after a long illness. His family kindly gave me permission to use this interview for a podcast episode. In the interview Terry talks about growing up in Donegall Pass in the early 1970s and his experiences in the Pass Tartan. Rather than put a sheen on his memories, Terry pretty much tells it as it was and explains how some of the attitudes were formed by the society in which he lived. Terry documented the life and history of Donegall Pass so it seems fitting that this interview will contribute to a better understanding of life in the Pass during the violent early Troubles. This episode is dedicated to Terry and his family. https://www.portadowntimes.co.uk/news/people/ymca-family-devastated-death-popular-mentor-3061663

    Episode 7 - Gay Troubles with Jeff Dudgeon
    Sep 20 2019
    In this episode I chat to Jeffrey Dudgeon MBE about the gay experience of the Northern Ireland Troubles. Jeff is famous for having brought a case to Strasbourg which led to the decriminalization of homosexuality in NI. He is also the editor of Roger Casement's 'Black Diaries' and most recently wrote a short book about Montgomery Hyde. He was involved in the foundation of Cara / Friend in the mid-1970s and was, until recently, an Ulster Unionist Councillor for the Balmoral DEA in Belfast.
