Get ready for a journey through time as you follow the rise and fall of the synth-pop band, Stanford.
Set in the vibrant music scene of 80s London, their story begins as Gerry and Bernie Stanford prepare for a long-awaited reunion concert at the Carling Apollo in Hammersmith. But as their past glory days unravel, their son Jack’s story unfolds in the present day. With a new identity and a troubled past, Jack is drawn to follow in his parents’ footsteps in the cutthroat music industry. Along the way, he encounters familiar faces that either helped or hindered his parents’ career. Will Jack and his band, The Colour Spectrum, finally achieve the success his parents were denied, or will dark forces seeking revenge destroy his dreams? Experience the soundtrack of this compelling tale with embedded links to The Colour Spectrum’s EP.

Editorial Reviews"An exceptional novel that explores the pitfalls of the music industry. Bands come and go and so do their stories but Tim O’Shaughnessy’s Hello Hammersmith is a winner from every possible angle, reminding us of the comforting, even cathartic, gratifications of a feel-good story well told. A grounded and thoroughly enthralling exploration of what happens when former headliners fall from grace, what O’Shaughnessy gives us is not a comeback story but something much rarer: a rounded, original portrait of good people and the mistakes they make on their way to achieving their dreams." Book Viral ★★★★★
"A gritty blend of musical memoir and emotional drama. The dialogue crackles with colloquial charm and the narration is viscerally immersive, pulling readers onto the stage of real-life headliners and heartbroken youth with alluring authenticity. A peek into multiple generations of the UK music scene, and a sensitive exploration of legacy and loss, this book is at once hard-hitting and heartfelt." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
