Back Page Blurb
"On the same day as his ill-fated attempt to win the
pee-up-the-wall competition at primary school, Harry
Cousin’s father failed to return home from a hectic
train-spotting stint. With a real sense of loss, Harry
shuffled into adolescence.
Now, still feeling he’s losing everything that’s important
to him, Harry’s fighting for the custody of his three
children and struggling to come to terms with teaching at
the local college. After being arrested for a case of
mistaken intent, he wants to find some meaning in life …
Harry joins a Blues band.
And so begins a series of bizarre events on a rollercoaster
journey, as he soon discovers that the Blues is more than
just a category in a music store .... … it’s a lifestyle. "
