The Old Familiar Places by Sam Emony
This coming-of-age novel follows the story of Sonny, and we cheer and suffer with him. In 1975 Sonny is dragged along to the funeral of family friend Freddie Wilson, music mogul and lawyer to the stars. Whilst tinkering on the grand piano in the music room in walks two bona fide legends, Charlie Watts and Syd Lawrence. They have him jamming along in no time. This sliding-doors, bittersweet moment propels him on a journey that he couldn’t have imagined, from Manchester to London to New York. Freddie’s widow Ruby pulls the levers, but can Sonny succeed?Sam Emony studied English and Drama and began writing in his teens. He then veered into life, had children, ran his own software business and more recently ran a live music venue in South Manchester for nearly twenty years. When opening LP's as a child, he always read the lyrics first, and it is his love of words and phrases that power his work. Born in Bristol, he now lives in Ramsbottom Lancashire. "The Old Familiar Places" is his first novel.
