It is a detailed personal and humorous insight into the dream lifestyle for those that can afford it and is based in the unspoiled 12th century village of Valbonne,10 miles north of Cannes . Written by a semi retired veteran music business executive, it examines the interaction of the mostly English ex patriot community with the French lifestyle much dreamed of by the English. Characters abound, wine is consumed, parties get out of hand, lunch is taken, tennis, golf, beach restaurants and the pleasures of Provence abound.Having worked with people as diverse as Simon Cowell, Rolf Harris, Bucks Fizz, Prince, Small Faces, Humble Pie and Sam Fox, and booking The Clash, the Damned and The Jam amongst others his insights are fascinating. For over 40 years the author has known and worked with rock 'n rolls greatest failure John Otway who remains one of his closest friends.
