George didn’t join a covers band to meet girls. He’s forty-two years old, can barely play the bass guitar that has languished in his spare room these last three years and got put off women by his second divorce.

But when the beautiful Verity turns up at rehearsals all that changes.

Weekend Rockstars is a coming-of-middle-age romantic comedy following George’s hapless quest for happiness against a background of small-town musicians with delusions of grandeur, obsessive groupies, abysmally organised events, living up to his fatherly responsibilities, and the well-intended interventions of his borderline-alcoholic friends.

“Very accurately captures the euphoria/self loathing of playing "Sex on fire" to a room full of drunken divorcees.”

“A classic British romantic comedy in fact, that I genuinely think stands up against the best out there - if Nick Hornby had written this, it would already have been optioned for a film, hit the Bestsellers list and wouldn’t be half as good as it is, because what the hell does he know about being in a covers band? I ask you.”

“Well written and accessible, this is a study of human nature as much a take on the foibles of budding rockstars.”

“Great characters, well-written and believable, lots of in-jokes, familiar circumstances.If you've ever been in a band, wanted to be in a band, even seen a band play, you should read this book”

“A fabulous, well written, funny and uplifting read. Totally believable characters. It is hard to believe that this is a debut novel.”

“I was expecting a niche book, only read by aspiring musicians. Instead I was surprised at the quality of the writing, especially the conversations. Potential film here.”

“It is a special book, and they don’t come along too often.”

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dave Holwill was born in Guildford in 1977 and quickly decided that he preferred the Westcountry – moving to Devon in 1983 (with some input from his parents). After an expensive (and possibly wasted) education there, he has worked variously as a postman, a framer, and a print department manager (though if you are the only person in the department then can you really be called a manager?) all whilst continuing to play in every kind of band imaginable on most instruments you can think of. His debut novel, Weekend Rockstars, was published in August 2016 to favourable reviews and The Craft Room, his second (a very dark comedy concerning death through misadventure), is due for publication in 2017. He is currently working on a third about the complications of living with your estranged father when you're in love with your best friend, or the complications of living with your estranged son when his best friend is in love with you - depending on which bit it is.
