Listen below to hear the live recording of novelist, poet and Guardian football correspondent Jamie Jackson talk about his new novel with David Scott, author of Mancunians, BBC presenter, musician and poet.
Adventures In LovE is Jamie's fictional book, set within the Acid House scene in Lancaster. Nancy Kools and Joey Miller are teenagers, high, in love, and with zero to lose. Acid House is a seismic happening hitting the UK, drawing countless kids to illegal all-night warehouse parties. But: the raves have been driven underground by the Thatcher Government fuelling a moral majority terrified of their partying children.
When Joey discovers who floods Lancaster with Ecstasy, he and Nancy scheme to steal 1,000 of the dancing pills, sell them at the final party, and jet to Ibiza to live off their spoils in the Balearic sun forever. Except: it is not only Nancy and Joey who have plans for the 1,000 pink new yorker ecstasy pills. Others are coming for them.
