Episode: 'Mad Dog' (Part 1): The rise of Johnny ‘Mad Dog’ Adair and the UDA’s C-Company
Description: Johnny Adair’s name is well known, his face instantly recognizable, his voice familiar but he’s not a famous actor or singer, he’s a ‘celebrity terrorist’. He was the pumped-up skinhead hardman who led a bloody loyalist faction in carrying out over 40 murders – most of his victims were entirely innocent Catholics. The Sunday Life’s Ciaran Barnes tells the story of how Adair rose to power in the lower Shankill. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast.
