BE HERE NOW

by Paul Carroll

The Great Oasis Reunion Gig of 2025 2029

Definitely

Fiction

When Oasis reform for a one-off gig on a wind turbine eco-island in the middle of the North Sea, it’s billed as the greenest live music event of all time.

The stakes are high for all involved, but it turns out some of the festivalgoers have bigger personal problems to deal with than the survival of the planet.

Rachel, for one, on a trial break from her husband. The gang of four middle-aged Manc mates trying to re-capture their youth. Not to mention a bunch of activists who plan to disrupt the gig.

Can such an ambitious event live up to the hype? (And has anybody checked the weather forecast?)

Pack your windbreaker, grab your solar charger and get ready to party like it’s the end of the world.

The perfect read to accompany this summer’s Oasis comeback tour, Be Here Now is a wicked send-up of today’s over-hyped music festivals, corporate rock, fan rip-offs, sponsorship and greenwashing.

Paul Carroll

Paul’s writing takes on the zeitgeist in a highly engaging and entertaining way and is rarely lacking in dark humour and compassion.

Before turning to writing Paul worked in the field of PR for many years, including campaigns for well-known brands including Boddingtons, Heineken, Thorntons Chocolate, Chicago Town Pizza, Big D peanuts, Co-op Funerals and Manchester Airport.

Selling people things they didn’t realise they needed is at the heart of many of Paul’s books, often with hilarious consequences for the latest get-rich-quick merchants out to turn a quick buck at somebody else’s expense.

Born and bred in Leeds, Paul has a degree in English Language and English Literature from the University of Manchester, and currently lives in Altrincham.
