Описание:
In this prequel by 55 years to Second Wind, Jack 'Hutch' Hutchins is a maintenance engineer in a Yorkshire woollen mill. It is 1935, the lowest point of the great Depression, and the textiles industry, like many others, is struggling to survive.
Hutch knows that the mill will soon close, and he will be unemployed, but his heart is set on following his friend Norman Barraclough's example, and becoming a professional dance band musician.
He makes the journey to London, where he intends to fulfil his dream. Before long, Norman leaves his job on the RMS Duchess of Lancaster and joins him. Together they defy the odds stacked against their success. If they are to triumph, they will need all their ability and a great deal of luck. Romance also has its part to play in their story.

Описание:
Returning from National Service to a home dominated by a demanding and disapproving father, and now finding himself out of work, George Barker has little cause for optimism, other than the kind that has always come naturally to him.
He finds evening work, playing the organ in a club, and then, at his father's insistence, regular employment in an accounts office. Frustrated by the oppressive atmosphere at home and the small-mindedness of his employer, he establishes his independence by moving out and by resigning from his day job.
One romantic episode follows another, but with no lasting success. Eternally optimistic, however, he seizes a new opportunity as an agent and manager in the entertainment business. Here, he finds reward and satisfaction. All he needs now to make his world ideal is the right romantic partner, but she has so far eluded him.

With occasional visits from his son Jimbo, a free-spirited music student, they settle into their new home.Adam becomes involved in local matters, beginning with frequent visits to a care home to read to the grandmother of newfound friend and neighbour Jennie Thorpe, and then taking over as conductor of a dwindling and disheartened choral society.Encouraged by early success, he suggests revitalising the Dale after the devastation of foot-and-mouth disease, by creating a choir festival that he hopes will attract visitors and revive local businesses.It seems Adam has found his new direction. All that remains for him is to fill the void left by his late wife, and that is no easy task.
