Burnt Lungs and Bitter Sweets - Paperback
by Urban Pigs Press (Editor), Virginia Betts (Author)
In 1976, Hoagie, Toad, Toggie and Jonesy love the Sex Pistols, shopping trolleys and getting wasted. When boredom is a crime and sedation is the solution it's never likely to end well. Cue the music and roll back the decades through misadventures in Amsterdam, disorder on the dance floor, a dodgy portaloo at at Millennium and a couple of dead rats. Maybe if that thing with Kecks hadn't happened, life for Hoagie would have been different?
