This audiobook is BEAUTIFUL. I have been frustrated for years that the only available audiobook is significantly abridged (3 hours!?) but then I found this. The different narrators and the rumbling/effect for the voice of the Self is just… wonderful. Made my day.
Glad you enjoyed it. No idea how you can expect to cut a 14-15 hour story down to 3 hours. It's probably one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to.
Cannae go the Tam Deen Burn narrations, I reckon he misses the boat by an absolute fucking mile. Hard to believe he grew up in a scheme the way he depicts the characters

Does anyone know the narrator of this book? I downloaded it off of torrents years ago but it didn't contain the name: it's a sin that they only have the abridged version of Filth on Audible.
@@carlkamuti his name is Jonathan Hackett. Outside of an episode of taggart and a few films he's mostly a stage actor and has done a few audiobooks. He also does begbie in the non abridged audiobook of Porno. Wish he has done more as he's absolutely excellent here and in Porno.
@@Stereo_type1982 I'll be honest I do like Tam Dean Burn's narration: he's a good fit, his performance as Alec in The Acid House was for me the highlight of the film. But I don't know what they were thinking to only release a 3 hour book of Filth, it's probably Welsh's best novel alongside Trainspotting. Thank you for giving us the name though gadge.

@@Stereo_type1982could you do skagboys . There’s one up already on UA-cam but sounds awful. Thanks mush
BEAUTIFUL ? the cop is so corrupt almost a parody of a sociopath or worse ,but it is an enjoyable tale well read.
Satan is described as being the most beautiful angel, isn't it wonderful how subjective words are! @@barblessable
One of my favorite stories but beautiful is not the word i would choos3
Finding this has made my night- I have wanted an audio version of this for years. Happy New Year
What an absolute gem! Thanks very much for uploading and so on.
The greatest book ever written. Same rules
cheers laddie Irvine Welsh's books were wae better than the films
The Movie is a bloody masterpiece never the less, pal.
@@BlahBlahEXISTENSIA i was really disappointed, i thought james mcavoy was miscast af and it was too cartoony
@@connie_dI really liked the acid house and trainspotting 1 movies but the book filth was a lot better than the flick
Thanks!
No problem!
Thank you, mate.
I have this film. Did not know there was a book.
Read the book, it's beyond worth a read.
Perfect for bed time.. We all know the games are always being played, same rules apply
Used to big tam dean burn narrating for Irvine,,,, but this guy's pretty good
Does the novel justice
I honestly prefer this guy tbh, He also reads the part of Begbie in one of the other books (porno I think) and he's perfect
@@Stereo_type1982 well he kinda grew on me ,, I've tanned filth over the last week and I enjoyed it better myself 👍
@@martinmcchesney315 Burn kinda got a bit carried away with himself I think, the way he reads some of the later books verges on unintentional parody.
@@Stereo_type1982 I still like him,,, he's good at narrating Robert burns stuff
