#60 Traveller man Patrick McCann went from drugs, violence & prison to recovery and university.

Every time I hear Patrick speak I'm absolutely captivated. He is such a kind, honest and gentle soul with a powerful presence. The two Norries have an amazing skill of discussing difficult topics , which are easier to listen to by balancing a sense of humour, empathy and compassion. This is my favourite interview to date. Well done 💪

Absolutely, some of the very best times of my life was the rave scene. Would I want to go back though, definitely not. Today, I too recognise why I was doing what I was doing when I was doing it. I have no regrets or shame attached to that period of my life, not only did I think I was having fun but it has also help shape and mould me into who I am today. And who I am today is someone I can look in the mirror and be proud of. No doubt, the same can be said for the 3 of ye.

I don't know any travelling man who isn't tough and good at boxing honestly if you make good friends with a traveller not one person will say a word to ya because they know your gonna have backup I hung around with some sound lads who wouldn't let anyone say boo to me as a young lad and I'm still friends with them today nothing ever changed they're very loyal to me I just find it very frustrating that some people still stigmatize travelling people in the wrong ways
