A casting call has been launched for young Derry performers to take part in a new musical set in Belfast during the 1970s.

Elvis Presley has just died, Saturday Night Fever and Grease are huge hits at the cinema and Princess Leia is the breadboy’s big crush. Yes, Breadboy was turning out to be a bit of a stale read. That is, until the 70% location of the Kindle version. For suddenly, at about the 70% location of the story, the writing started sounding like it was written by the author who wrote the first book! It became funny and touching and just written a whole lot better. That last 30% made me love this second book almost as much as the first. I’ve heard demos of the songs and they are genius,” said Macaulay. “They completely capture the era and Peter has clearly studied disco. On November 22, 2022, they announced that they were leaving the house they had filmed all of their videos in, and by November 28, 2022, they released a final video inside the house on the last day they legally allowed inside it. When BYMT did Paperboy [focusing on Macaulay's life as a 12-year-old infatuated with Doctor Who and the Bay City Rollers], the kids knew all the history of Belfast and knew how their characters fitted into it and I think that's important," he adds.Tony coaches a youth empowerment project in the slums in Kampala, Uganda and is on the steering group developing a Rwanda Peace & Reconciliation Centre. It was on a visit to Kigali in 2017 that he met Juvens Nsabimana co-author of his latest book Kill the Devil: A Love Story from Rwanda. Tony explains: A final day of auditions will also be held at the Spectrum Centre, Shankill Road, and Falls Road Leisure Centre in West Belfast on February 18.

The reality for Tony Macaulay in Belfast 1977 was his own little Belfast bubble in which he bounced around as a 14-year-old, watching Star Wars, eating 'tatey' bread and savouring newfound responsibility as the breadboy for the last "Ormo Mini-shop in the world". I don't know for sure, but I think reliving that time period badly affected the author while writing this book. The writing in this second memoir was nowhere near as good as the writing in the first memoir. Mr. Macaulay also stopped using asterisks while using a famous obscene word, as he used in the first book, and included much more obscenity. This probably made the book more realistic, but did nothing for its charm.Specialising in creating new music theatre, BYMT works with leading industry professionals to offer high-quality training for young singers, actors, dancers and musicians as well as emerging artists and stage technicians. Platinum-selling local singer/songwriter Duke Special and Derry-born comedian Andrew Doyle will be part of the creative team bringing Macaulay’s much-loved memoir to life. Both worked on Paperboy too, with Duke Special, aka Peter Wilson, composing the music and Doyle writing the lyrics. Alas I was to wait a few more years than Tony to find my girl, together for 30 yrs now, but I had a few heartbreaks so I know unrequited love. Tony Macaulay, the writer of Breadboy, said: “Everyone involved in the musical adaptation for Paperboy was overwhelmed by the reception it received over the past two years.
