Music and Lyrics
Venue:
Vue Ocean Terminal, Leith
Alex Fletcher is a washed-up ‘80s pop star who makes a
living from on the none-too-dignified nostalgia circuit, playing to
audiences of baying middle-aged women at county fairs and amusement
parks. When young singing star Cora Corman invites him to write and
record a duet with her, Fletcher jumps at the chance, before realising
that having never written a lyric in his life, things might not go
according to plan...
