• From the Plain of the Yew Tree

This is the story of Castlebar singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and teacher John Hoban. From the Plain of the Yew Tree takes the reader on a journey through music and time across the five continents. The author invites us to join him on his rambles through Ireland, London, Australia, America and many other places, meeting, listening to, and playing with every kind of 'musicianer'. Poets, artists, writers, mystics and people from every walk of life are travelling on this mystery train with John Hoban as he unravels his life memories and explores his deep relationship of trust and belief in music. Music has been his guide and his constant companion through good times, bad times and other times. Music has been survival itself for John. This tale presents us with the tapestry of a life lived through music, providing us with a rare insight into the life of a modern-day Troubadour. This is a unique tale told in an unmistakeably West of Ireland voice. A story told with humour, sensitivity and devotion.

John Hoban was born just steps away from where The Castle Bookshop is based and we at www.mayobooks.ie are delighted to have signed copies of John's books available for our customers.
