In a desperate bid to get back on top, a bitter, jealous one-hit-wonder rock star commits a nasty betrayal on a hot young singer/songwriter who is his greatest fan.
A rocking comedy drama with a zinger of a twist delivered with cutting humour and lived experience of the music biz.
A rocket ride through the perils of the hunger for fame; an addiction like any other with the attendant consequences of needing a fix.
THEME: The struggle to find self through the bubble of fame, at the cost of self-torment and the potential loss of a faithful loved one.
MESSAGE: Are personal integrity and loyalty more important than the artificial public persona created by the bubble of fame?

School from age five to eighteen. Hated every minute of it. Total waste of my precious time. Learnt nothing. Parents plonked me on a piano at the age of eight. I took to it like a duck to water. By age of fourteen I was composing. By the time I left school I was deep into Blues, Jazz, Reggae, Funk, Soul and Latin American styles. After leaving school my dad asked me how I intended to make a living. I said I wanted to be a musician. He thought that was a great joke and told me to get a respectable, well-paying career behind me. He recommended the legal profession. I fell for it. I studied my butt off for a few years and actually managed to qualify as a lawyer. Six months later I quit to pursue a musical life as a contemporary pianist/composer. Mum was happy about it. Dad was not. I have played the piano in many formats in London, across Europe, Venezuela and the USA. A love of comedy led me to writing humorous verse, short stories, pulp fiction paperbacks, a novel and screenplays all with music biz themes.
