For over forty years, former band members of Generation 27, a briefly successful band in the late seventies, have been haunted by the shadows of the group's collapse. Stephen is weighed down by guilt, Philip blames everyone else for his fall from stardom, while Martin battles addiction and illness. Only when strangely familiar figures emerge from those shadows is each of them forced to confront their loss and regret.
The past really is a foreign country, but how will the three friends navigate their way from there to the future?
Valediction Records is R. Peter Davies' debut novel.
Currently living in South Liverpool, he is presently working with a scriptwriter and producer on a screenplay of the novel, and has recently begun co-writing a musical, whilst also shaping ideas for his next novel.
He says: "I was born in Liverpool, the son of a Welsh father and an English mother. After graduating in History at London University, I taught for several years, before going into law and becoming a Crown Prosecutor. For all my adult life, I have also been a singer-songwriter, forming the award-winning alt-country band The Good Intentions (www.thegoodintentions.co.uk).
"Intermittently, I have featured as one of the subjects of the 'Seven Up' series of documentaries: parts of my life are documented for all to see!"
