EVOCATIVE, COLOURFUL AND VERY, VERY FUNNY. WHETHER YOU WERE THERE FOR THE 60s OR NOT NEARLY SWINGING IS A RITES-OF-PASSAGE TALE THAT WILL HAVE YOU HOWLING WITH LAUGHTER AS YOU TURN THE PAGES FOR MORE.
“…embarrassingly funny…”
“…a diamond on every page…”
“…rude but hilarious…”
The 1960s. Swinging London. Free love. LSD and kaftans. Marianne Faithful riding a motorbike, Princess Margaret in a mini, John Lennon driving a psychedelic Rolls.
But small-town teenage life eighty miles west of the Kings Road hardly emulates the Swinging 60s of television and magazines. The Locarno Ballroom isn’t the Marquee Club, Tommy Storm and the Thunders can’t hold a candle to Gerry and the Pacemakers, the fashion isn’t Carnaby Street and the coffee in El Morocco is definitely less frothy than the 2is.
But sometimes, just sometimes, it all comes close.
Dangerously close, when juggling the physical and emotional demands of three hot women begins to compete with what an army of groupies, naughty vicars and call-girl secretaries are getting up to on the pages of The News of the World.
