Neil McCarthyNeil McCarthy grew up in West Cork in the eighties watching MacGyver and launching himself from trees on zip wires fashioned from old clothes lines.

He has so far featured as a guest speaker in literary festivals, conferences, fringe festivals etc. in Australia, the US, Ireland, the Czech Republic and Austria to name a few.
