Publisher's Synopsis
Jimmy Bartlay is not yet a superstar. On the other hand, he is 'a right bastard', or rather, Ken Tibble is. And sometimes being Ken Tibble is only tolerable when the pubs are well and truly open.
Fame and persecution are not so different, Jimmy discovers, and he is not even safe in his favourite boozer, the Sir Richard Steele. It's not just that the beer ruins his performance with the girls, but even the lady in the flat next to his, puts the police on him for harbouring terrorists. Still, his next public appearance makes him a hero, and that will be his biggest test of all. "a stylish comedy of manners for our TV age" - THE TIMES"an odd and original novel" - THE YORKSHIRE POST
