Popular Mayo businessman Oliver Kelleher set to launch his first book

Well-known Castlebar businessman Oliver Kelleher will be launching his first book, Stay In The Drain, later this month.

He will have his Castlebar launch upstairs in the banqueting suite in Johnny McHale’s pub on Newline, Castlebar, at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday, November 23.

His memoir is sure to be a very sought-after title.

The popular Leitrim native has had plenty of ups and downs through the years and in his book, he tells the story of a fascinating life.

From his upbringing on a small Leitrim farm, to helter-skelter years in Dublin, to coming to Mayo to get married, rear a family and set up a very successful business, Oliver’s story is one worth telling.

It is in the telling that this memoir stands out. Written in his quintessential gregarious style, this is a book that will have you laughing out loud as Oliver casts his eye over his own life, people he met along the way and life and society in Ireland and beyond with great observation and wit.

He’s a straight shooter but, above all, despite all his setbacks, the book reveals a man with a very positive outlook on life and his memoir has plenty of life lessons in it.

The book will be on sale in all good bookshops and online on mayobooks.ie.

There’s a great story about the title of the book too. Come to the launch or pick up a copy of the book to find out about ‘stay in the drain’.

All are welcome to the launch.

The legendary Mayo journalist Michael Commins will be officially launching the book on the night.
