A nostalgic trip back into 1981, following 16-year-old Shell Rogers as she leaves school with nothing but her friends, fashion, and love for the Two-Tone movement. Desperate to leave town, she makes a pact with her best mates to meet again Under the Clock when they're all aged 50. Filled with Two-Tone music, sex, drugs, and language that your mother would have disapproved of, it's a heartwarming story of friendships that stand the test of time.
As a Coventry kid of 53 years of age, this book brings back so many memories. I moved away and lost contact with some of my best friends but recently got back in touch with them. Ska still plays a massive part in my life, I still go and watch Ska and Ska punk bands with my son including The Mighty Mighty Bosstones who get a mention in the book. Looking forward to reading the sequel. Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think folks!
