Hi everyone!
This is my first posting here. I'd like to tell you about a website I have been working on as a tribute to the great Irish author and playwright (and excessive drinker!), Brendan Behan. There are no dedicated sites to Brendan on the www so I hope to do him justice. It is a sort of 'labour-of-love' non-profit site and I hope you can take time out of your schedule to have a look. Thanks in advance!

You have done alot of work there, the site looks good. Welcome to LitNet.

Thank you Kathy!
Saw "The Hostage" in college and it was energetic and meaningful.

I will have to admit that I know of him more because of his drinking habits and the anecdotes they caused than for his other exploits. I'll definitely have a closer look at your site later today.
