Three cities, two years, one chance: from the author of the
critically acclaimed debut So It Is - shortlisted for best first
book at the Scottish Book Awards 2013 - comes the hard-hitting
story of a young man determined to find his voice. Plucked from
obscurity in Glasgow, Rab Dillon is about to become the next great
protest singer. Seduced by promises of stardom, carrying only the
guitar given to him by the girl who broke his heart, he travels
down to London. There he records the debut album that will speak to
the dispossessed, the disenfranchised and disheartened. One year
later, he is sleeping rough on the streets of Brighton. A
modern-day ballad set across three cities and two years, The Busker
is a richly comic expose of the music industry, the Occupy
movement, homelessness, squatting - and failing to live up to the
name you (almost) share with your hero. It is also the story of
what survives when the flimsy dreams of fame fall apart.
