Setting off from Ireland, Pete McCarthy takes us on a wonderful journey around the weird and wonderful Irish communities of the world.
In his own inimitable style, Pete recounts his adventures and escapades as, in Morocco he meets the head of Clan McCarthy, and then goes on to visit the renowned Irish peoples of New York. He journeys to the southern hemisphere and then back again to the United States before ending up in a small town called McCarthy in Alaska.
Will he encounter enough McCarthy's Bars, as he continues to obey the eighth rule of travel: 'never pass a pub with your name on it'? This is a funny, affectionate look at the Irish communties of the world.
McCarthys humorvolle Suche nach irischen Gemeinden weltweit führt ihn auf eine Abenteuerreise. Sie endet in der Kleinstadt McCarthy in Alaska; getreu dem Prinzip: Gehe nie an einer Tür vorbei, die Deinen Namen trägt.
Pete McCarthy's humorous quest for Irish communities across the world.
