Andy Macleod: Soho Days, Camden Nights, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A funny, bittersweet work of autofiction about ambition, identity, and learning when to change the record.

Andy is 27 years old and stuck in a dead-end admin job in Soho. His rockstar dreams are over, but luckily, he's discovered the next big thing: a Norwegian three-piece who sound like ABBA meets-Nirvana. Plan B is simple: live the dream vicariously by managing them. The only things standing in his way are a total lack of music-industry know-how, and a boss who disapproves of his extracurricular activities. Easy peasy, right?

Soho Days, Camden Nights is a coming-to-your-senses story set in the heyday of the late-nineties London music scene that also charts the rise of one of the biggest bands and comedians of the modern era. Along the way, it asks an eternal question: does success come from talent and hard work - or is it mostly down to timing and luck? And more importantly - is it ever too late to pick up the plectrum and try again?
