Reyes vagabundos

Luton, 1982. Pop music obsesses a generation, and young Irishman Robbie Goulding meets three people who will change his life. Fran Mulvey is a Vietnamese kid who has Bowie, Dylan, Mercury, Lennon and Patti Smith inside. Sarah-Thérèse Sherlock, future Rolling Stone Musician of the Year, is the only one who wears the Madonna look better than Madonna herself. Seán, her brother and her twin, learned to play the drums in reform school. Together they form Ships in the Night, a group that draws on New Wave and ska, Mahler and blues, and which rises to fame without a parachute. Music and friendship, ambition and betrayal merge into a deafening symphony until, suddenly, silence falls. London, 2012. Already forgotten by the charts, Robbie writes his memoirs. His story is that of those who have had everything and have had nothing; those who know how close life is to death; those who have been both kings and vagabonds.
