About
Grand Theft Giro is a raw, funny and deeply human Scottish memoir written and narrated by Frankie Gault. Set across the streets, schemes and shorelines of Inverclyde, these true stories move between chaos and tenderness, addiction and recovery, trouble and survival. Frankie tells of growing up on the west coast of Scotland in a world of giro days, dodgy decisions, near-disasters and second chances, where the line between comedy and catastrophe is always thin.
From time in prison and nights that spiralled out of control, to the unexpected kindness of strangers and the quiet loyalty of friends, each story reveals another side of working-class life in Scotland. Some chapters are laugh-out-loud funny; others are hard to listen to. All are told with unflinching honesty, sharp observation and a deep affection for the people and places that made him.
Told in Frankie's own voice, this unabridged audiobook offers an unfiltered portrait of a man who has lived through darkness, stumbled towards recovery and found meaning in telling the truth about where he came from.
For listeners who enjoy real Scottish stories, working-class memoirs and humour drawn from lived experience, Grand Theft Giro is a powerful, unforgettable journey through one man's life in Inverclyde.
