Toerags in Orange Caftans

Born in the 1950s, Jeremy Quirke stems from working class Irish parents. Being the youngest of seven children, his early childhood was spent learning from the tough streets of Kentish Town and Kilburn, London, England. Leaving school with no qualifications, he turned to the building industry for work and later on in life, was given the opportunity to learn his long-term trade as a fibrous plasterer. This gave him the opportunity to travel the world. With a wealth of obscure and hilarious life experiences behind him, he was keen to use this as his muse to create characters and situations within his storytelling. He now resides in northwest England, where he continues to write.
