An act of chivalry has locked him into direct confrontation with his old adversary, Nigel, a swollen-head South African and master of dodgy deals. He wakes to his nightmare; form a band and play a gig within three months or risk losing his home, his business and his marriage. In a tailspin he faces the venom of his bruiser wife Isobel whose focus is the village Jubilee celebration. Suffering ridicule, an arson attack, venue bans and a shop boycott, he dithers. Helen, a loathed, tattooed single mum with an unexpected past, introduces him to social media and a lively Jamaican, DJ Barney. They mix a volatile cocktail of hostile pensioners with yob dancers. The brass band, due to play the Jubilee, goes down with 'the runs'. Stanley's time comes but he discovers something more. Written by Christopher James See less
