Local writer David Hogarth hosted a soft launch of his memoir recounting his life growing up in Blackpool. David Simper popped along to find out more. After a little bus confusion due to one company\u2019s real time information system announcing a bus that doesn\u2019t exist, I caught the alternative service 61 down to town and walked down to the Tea Amantes cafe and gallery, for local author David Hogarth\u2019s book launch. The word had certainly got round for this one and by the time I got there, the place was packed. I recognised David as a regular at the excellent Tea Amantes art exhibitions, which I have reviewed so often for this site. Miraculously there was a table remaining among the throng and I repaired to it with my slice of tasty cake (I\u2019d come out without any dinner) and green tea.<\/p>\n

Rise and Shine Little Man will be published on 15th February 2024 although advanced copies were available on the night. Its charming, sensitive memoir of childhood here in Blackpool in the 1960s and of the unbreakable bond of love between a mother and son. Hogarth captures a precious sense of innocence and the forgotten spirit of the \u201950 and \u201960 as seen through a boy\u2019s eyes. David introduced the book with some self-deprecating humour. He had clearly used his writing to work through the consequences of loss and the result was this book which, it appeared, might be the first in a trilogy. He made two principal readings.<\/p>\n

Firstly there were some wry observations about the war\u2019s potential but unrealised effect on him being born. Blackpool was spared major bombing which allowed his parents to meet and marry. David\u2019s father fought as a tank driver and was targeted by a German sniper, who fortunately missed him by a whisker, then being despatched by the tank\u2019s turret gunner. David\u2019s humorous recount of these events had a dark subtext \u2013 things could have been very different.<\/p>\n

The second and more lighthearted tale was of scouting trips and hunting fornicating rabbits with bracken spears. A childhood friend who\u2019d shared this adventure was in the room and confirmed that the story was all entirely true.<\/p>\n

There followed a lively Q&A and then a signing session. His admiring public thronged round and I didn\u2019t manage to speak to him before time ran out for the bus back, so I bade my farewells and, miraculously, found the hourly service 61 was waiting for me as I approached Corporation Street.<\/p>\n\"\"\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
