About the book
Plucked from obscurity in Glasgow, Rab Dillon is about to become the next great protest singer. Seduced by promises of stardom he travels down to London, carrying only the guitar given to him by the girl who broke his heart. There he records the debut album that will speak to the dispossessed, the disenfranchised and the 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 and failing to live up to the dream.
