| book description |
Lenny Henry stars in this family comedy set in the finest, feistiest old reggae record shop in Birmingham ‘A joy’ Chris Campling, The Times Rudy Sharpe is the irrepressible owner of a tiny, ramshackle record store, stacked from floor to ceiling with piles of vinyl. It’s a place with real soul, where the slogan is ‘If we don't have it – them don't mek it’. Helping out behind the counter is Tasha, Handsworth’s only Black goth girl, while Rudy’s best friend Clifton regularly drops in to talk music, women and rum. When Rudy has a 'heart attack', his long-suffering, middle-aged son Adam reluctantly returns from London to look after him, leaving behind his own classical music shop, Bach to Basics. Accompanying Adam is his teenage son, Richie, who is less than thrilled with the prospect of going to Birmingham, but bonds with his granddad over their shared love of reggae and ska. Crammed together, sharing the minuscule flat above the shop, the trio collide on a daily basis. Forced to survive each other’s company, can they put their differences aside, keep the store afloat and keep the vinyl dream alive? Starring Lenny Henry as Adam, Larrington Walker as Rudy and Joe Jacobs as Richie, this feelgood comedy celebrates three generations of Sharpe men bantering, bickering, breaking up and making up – all to a terrific, toe-tapping soundtrack.
