I'm gonna kick off this thread as well - being the connoisseur of literature that I am. Any discerning radio show should endeavor to rise above the smut sometimes and offer it's listeners (at least those who can actually string more than two words together) a little bit of culture. What form that culture takes of course can be stretched as thin as a good quality condom.
So I present to you the DBH Library - a collection of what's good in literature these days. I reckon it's as good a place as any to plug the best in indie literature rather than giving yet more oxygen to the best in shit big publishing house literature.
And for the first post here, let me introduce to the DBH Bastardos a book featuring DBH's own "THE DOG".
Bouncers and Bodyguards is a collection of astonishing true stories about the tough world of personal protection and nightclub doors from some of Britain's most notorious figures.
Read how Charlie Bronson helped his friends out on the doors of his local in the early '70s before being banged up for well over 30 years; how big man Scotty Taylor regularly ran the gauntlet of any number of wasted fucktards who regularly sought misguided retribution from the fists of fury himself; how Dave Courtney misses the violent world of the doors; how ex-football hooligan Mickey Francis ran most of Manchester's doors back in the '80s; and how an ex-Foreign Legion bodyguard spent over a week cooped up in a bleak warehouse guarding Iraqi votes in central Baghdad. By turns funny, sad and shocking, these candid accounts were written exclusively for this publication by individuals who have spent much of their working lives in what is a volatile, violent and frequently unpredictable industry.
Compiled by former bodyguard, ex-mercenary and well-known nightclub bouncer Robin Barratt, Bouncers and Bodyguards is an expose of an infamous twilight world about which rumors are laid on their arse and fucked over royally in order to present the truth of a very tough and uncompromising world.
Bouncers and Bodyguards is available in print from all the usual online portals but you might wish to hop on over to Amazon UK and shell out some of your hard earned for a truly riveting expose into the Twilight World many of us never see.
