O'Rourke's First Case

on BBC Radio 4 FM

John O'Rourke is made redundant at 40. So he applies to the Enterprise Allowance Board in Liverpool for a £40-a-week grant to set up in business as a private detective. In no time at all he is caught up in the world of modern art, drug dealing and shoot-outs on container ships.
Written by Vincent Mc Inerney.
Just Another Night written and sung by Vincent McInerney, Steve Wright (guitar), Dave Dover (bass) and Steve Bartley (percussion). Director Shaun MacLoughlin Stereo
