I have had ‘The Good Companions’ sat waiting in my ‘to read’ pile for a while and this article provided the incentive for me to do it. Now I am doing so I see the parallels you refer to. Thank you :)
Interesting to hear about the parallels between the two books. I remember seeing the Gielgud/Matthews film on TV many years ago. I'll never forget the Dinky Do's!
I have been meaning to read more of Priestley and Doyle; these seem good places to start with them.
I haven't thought about The Commitments in so long - but I used to LOVE that movie!!

I like it already 😁
Loved the film The Commitments too. Some lines in the book and film are priceless. Great post.
If you like The Commitments, I'm very fond of The Snapper...
Thank you, am on it. Never heard of it, shame on me!
My favourite line
