Windswept & Interesting: My Autobiography

The first full-length autobiography from comedy legend and national treasure Billy Connolly.
Born in a tenement flat in Glasgow in 1942, orphaned by the age of four, and a survivor of appalling abuse at the hands of his own family, Billy's life is a remarkable story of success against all the odds. He found his escape first as an apprentice welder in the shipyards of the River Clyde. Later he became a folk musician with a genuine talent for playing the banjo. But it was his ability to spin stories, tell jokes and hold an audience in the palm of his hand that truly set him apart.
As a young comedian, Billy broke all the rules. He was fearless and outspoken, willing to call out hypocrisy wherever he saw it, but his stand-up was full of warmth, humility and silliness too. A joyfully funny, life-affirming story of a true comedy legend.
