Publisher's Synopsis
Funny, sad, moving, hilarious - a social comedy that touches the heart of modern middle England. What do you do when the kids you work with have never heard of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and your mates think "Lady in Red" is really quite a good song? For Percy George Hodsoll, the answer was easy. You drive your motorbike over the central reservation and go out in a blaze of glory. George leaves behind four members of his classic R&B band: Mickey, star commercials director who has a career on borrowed time; Rhys, conscientious doctor, in love with Mickey's wife; big-hearted Andy is married with kids but has a dangerously sexy new neighbour; Sam, the egotist supreme, is leaving home for a woman who thinks she's an Egyptian goddess. Men for whom life, love and masculinity has caught them up and then passed them by. It's time to move on, but where to?
