About the book
It’s the 1990s and Paper Husbands are finally making headway – they’ve got a song on high rotation on student radio and have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to open for UK legends Shimmer. The disappearance of frontman Pete shatters those plans, leaving the rest of the band to lead decidedly non-rock ’n’ roll lives in the years that follow.
Three decades later, Bob the drummer runs into Pete in a bar, and a casual catch-up leads to them saying the most dangerous words any musician can utter: ‘Let’s get the band back together.’ But Paper Husbands soon discover that band life is much harder when you’re no longer in your twenties, especially when you want a second shot at the rock show of your dreams.
An entertaining and refreshing debut, Paper Husbands is an uplifting story of male friendship and the transcendent power of music.
