A tale of two brothers in their sixties on tour in Japan in 2022, just after the country reopened post COVID. The younger brother, Andy, is a happy go lucky type and delighted to be playing for audiences, determined to make the best of things. Chris, the elder brother, is a total Eeyore and always expects everything to go wrong as well as struggling to ever be grateful for anything - I didn't empathise with him. I assume the reason Andy held his tongue as often as he did was due to the brotherly bond and his desire to reconnect post a disastrous tour in Ireland several years prior. Andy's Japanese wife, who organised the whole tour, is a facinating character and I'd have loved to see more of her.

An honest look at family, in all its messyness, as well as the unglamorous side of being a musician on tour. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
