Description

Meet the world’s first – and worst – door-to-door busker!

Overcome with patriotic fervour, New Zealander Justin Brown bets an Australian mate that the All Blacks will thrash the Wallabies in an up-coming match. They don’t.

Forced to re-enact the most embarrassing thing he’s ever done, Justin must door-to-door busk his way around England until he earns enough money for his airfare home. Armed with a black duffel coat and a guitar, he travels the country in mid-winter, knocking on doors and singing for his supper. Along the way he meets gypsies, drinks with Britain’s most famous busker, harasses carol singers, plucks turkeys, speaks to J. K. Rowling and gets told to sod off 357 times.

'Great read, very funny.' Steve Fountain - Classic Gold Network

'Funny, sharp and tuneful...' Eastbourne Herald , July 04

'an amusing insight into an alternative method of travel and of mixing with the natives' Backpacker Ireland & UK Magazine
