À propos de cet audio

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Made in Scotland by Billy Connolly, read by Gordon Kennedy.

All roads lead home.

‘After my knighthood was announced,
a woman from the BBC came to
Glasgow to interview me. We sat
down in a lovely hotel in a nice part
of town, and she hit me with her first
question: “This must mean a lot to
you, with you coming from nothing?”
I looked at her, and I laughed.

“I did’nae come from nothing,”
I told her. “I come from something.”

I grew up in the tenements of
post-war Glasgow. I am very proud
to be working class, and especially
a working-class Glaswegian who
has worked in the shipyards. I come
from the working class. And, most
of all, I come from Scotland.

Scotland is a unique and wonderful
place. Its national motto says
a lot about it: Nemo me impune
lacessit. A decent translation might
be: ‘By all means punch me
in the nose but prepare yourself
for a kick in the arse.’

I did’nae come from nothing:
I come from Scotland. And this
book is about why I will always be
happy and proud that I do.’

Greatly enjoyed it! Gordon Kennedy has a voice that makes you able to listen with ease and not get distracted. Reading about Connolly's life was do interesting and at times a little heartbreaking, mixed in with comedy.

Sad it's finished now

At first I was disappointed it wasn’t being read by Billy but after a while it didn’t really matter the book is a great listen and I think Billy’s views on love and being Scottish are wonderful
Even in the depths of Parkinson’s he loves live and can laugh about it

Love this guy

Great story but found the narrator terribly boring to listen to, so boring that I never managed to finish the book.

Great story, but that’s it

Disappointed that Bilky did not read...but... by Chapter 4 he lost me. Narrator should have come up with second voice. A ten minute conversation saying John Me John Me sooooo annoying.

OMG boring
