Johnny Carroll, popularly known as ‘the man with the golden trumpet’, has just published his autobiography Oh Mein Papa, recounting his 50 plus years in the music business.
Johnny, originally from Castlerea, began playing the trumpet in public at 13 and from that point on has never looked back. He played with The Premier Arcs and The Magic Band showbands, before releasing his debut solo album A Touch Of Class, the first of many such successful records.
Johnny’s book recounts his adventures in the music business, the ups and downs, and memorable stories from his 53 years entertaining the public.
Oh Mein Papa is €15 and is published by Harrison Print. Every copy of the book features a CD with the song ‘The Man From Castlerea’, a duet by Johnny and his daughter Michelle.
