Welcome to the World of Joey Joe McGuire
Joey Joe McGuire is a native of the North East of England, (Newcastle). He was brought up in post war poverty and remembers his formative years as being austere. His Rutherford Grammar School education was interrupted when he emigrated to the USA.

He was sent home to avoid the draft, Vietnam was raging, only to join the Parachute Regiment and serve two tours of Northern Ireland, (The Ardoyne and South Armagh).

Life for Joey has been cruel, however, he has been able to overcome his many Everest's by turning to his only true love, poetry. He wrote his first poem when he fell in love at the tender age of thirteen.

He writes from the heart, some say he wears his heart on his sleeve, and with an amazing insight and frankness. Joey's heart goes out to the victims of violence and suffering wherever it occurs. However, he is aware that he is only a man, only human and cannot change the world he abhors.

Joey tries hard in his work to expose and push social and political boundaries.

Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation

The Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation is a London-based charity that enables vulnerable and disabled ex-Servicemen and women, including those who have been made homeless, to live as independently as possible by providing appropriate housing with support. Tonight there will be over 1,000 ex-Service personnel on the streets of London alone. Our mission is to reduce this number by providing rehabilitative care and support to ensure that they do not return to the streets, and education training programmes to help them back into work.

Patron - Royal Highness The Countess of Wessex

President - Field Marshall Sir John Chapple GCB CBE DL
