Summary
In this hilarious and heartfelt story from the bestselling author of Dry Hard, Will hasn’t seen his rock-star dad for thirty years. But now he’s back for an encore…
Will Fairweather is getting old. His back aches, his bowels misbehave if he eats spicy food and he’s completely lost his sense of rhythm. Life has taught him not to take risks, but even that hasn’t stopped his marriage hitting the rocks too. The last thing he needs is a surprise call from Red Fairweather, devil-may-care rock god—and the father Will hasn’t seen for thirty years.
If Will’s old before his time, Red’s the boy who won’t grow up.
When Will needs somewhere to live, with nowhere else to turn, he finds himself back with the hellraiser who deserted his family. As Will tries to come to terms with the downward spiral of his life, he starts to realise there’s more to Red than he thought—there’s a real human being under all that leather and attitude, a dad determined to make up for lost time and help his son get back on track.
Can Will make his peace with a father seeking forgiveness?

Brilliant!
Great new yarn from Mr Spalding, absolutely excellent narration from Sam Haft. Needs to be a film preferably starring Bill Nighy ….. tell us who to lobby!

Great book well worth the listen
Great book really enjoyed it. Not quite as humorous as his other books cried rather than laughed at this one. However as always a great story warmed my heart.

Brilliant and heartfelt
I love Nick Spalding’s books and I would say this is the best yet. Heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

Another betler!
I was unsure at the start, however, I just fell in love with the characters. I for one, need to be a little more like Red.

Ok ish
Performances excellent. Story ok if not a little cheesy and predictable. Won’t thrill but easy listening.
