Description

---

This book goes down memory lane. Walter loved to sketch people, especially musicians, enjoying a pint of Guinness at the same time. He left us more than 500 sketches, and because we were always on bicycles our radius was quite small. There were four pubs where he did most of his drawings: The Roadside Tavern in Lisdoonvarna, O'Connor's, McGann's and McDermott's in Doolin. This book hosts 121 sketches drawn in O'Connor's pub, Doolin.
