Pat McCabe’s novel Breakfast on Pluto dedicated to Gavin
Irish author Pat McCabe’s new novel ‘Breakfast on Pluto’ is dedicated to Gavin and his wife – “do Fionán agus R.” The book draws heavily upon the vibe set by the album Shag Tobacco, and the songs Mr Pussy and Dolls. Director Neil Jordan has already bought the rights to the book for a film.
Gavin and Maurice have been writing songs for Marianne Faithful and continue to work on a new studio album.
