Nick Turner: son, father, musician, songwriter, lover, scientist, sailor. An Englishman, an Aussie, a genuine guitar-carrying, hitchhiking troubadour.
In this memoir, Nick takes us on an unforgettable road trip. Starting in his hometown of Nottingham in Thatcher's Britain, he hitches his way from London to Paris, New York to San Diego and back again, busking a thousand street corners and subways.
Along the way you'll meet the strange and wonderful characters that shaped this epic journey. They may seem larger than life, but - along with the highs and the heartbreaks, the booze and the drugs and of course the music - this trip is all real. It's a story about coming-of-age and finding your place, geographically and spiritually. So stick out your thumb, climb aboard and enjoy the ride!
