A short story from a winter on the Loony Line, Ireland, 1990 — buses, caravans, bender tents, and horses holding their ground against the rain, the mud, and the cold. The Bogs of Tipperary follows a community of Travellers and idealists determined to keep an alternative, marginal way of life alive through the hardest months, building toward a desperate horse rescue when a foal is trapped in the bog. Drawn straight from real life on the road, it's a story about endurance, community, and what it takes to survive — together — outside the system.
It's one of twelve true stories collected in Calling Crows, Grant J. Riley's account of Britain and Ireland's 1990s free festival and direct-action scene.

Calling Crows
Calling Crows is a collection of twelve true stories from Britain and Ireland's free festival and direct-action scene of the 1990s — a world of squatters, road protests, and activists fighting back against Thatcher-era Britain's "no alternative." From the front lines of anti-roads campaigns and J18 to the squats, the bender tents, and the Travellers' sites, these are first-hand accounts of life inside the counter-culture: communities built in rebellion, criminalised by the mainstream, and bound together by something the establishment never understood. Funny, brutal, and unflinching, it's a document of a generation that chose to become outsiders — and never quite regretted it.
