Trade Review'One great long drunken rambling guitar solo of a novel!' Tim Pears; 'SB Sweeney writes with a clarity and wit that brings to life the less glossy side of the eighties: a world of squats, bedroom bands and cheap drugs, where a CV most likely meant a pint of cider and Vimto. The intriguing and intertwining tales make an addictive read.' Deb Googe: My Bloody Valentine and The Thurston Moore Group; 'It's La boheme meets Trainspotting, with the structure of a dream; a hole in the wall of the ordinary, an extraordinary landscape beyond.' Roger Ashton-Griffiths: Actor and Writer
