Description
The lives of four singers are far from harmonious. Danny's marriage is on the rocks, while Vince is struggling with a debilitating illness. Henry is having a mid-life crisis, and Neil is at war with his father. But when they sing together none of that matters. Because something magical happens. On a mission to compete against the best quartet singers in Britain, they turn to veteran entertainer, Ken, who inspires them to discover a curious vocal technique called The Fifth Voice. Over the course of a year and several adventures, they make discoveries about the power of music and friendship that help each of them shape the rest of their lives. And when they eventually find The Fifth Voice, they discover a prize much greater than the one they imagined. 'The Fifth Voice' is a poignant and comic tale of four lives and a single passion. 'A funny, touching and charming tale' DAVID NOBBS - Bestselling author of 'The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin' 'A great story, full of memorable characters - a cappella as a metaphor for life!' DEKE SHARON - 'Pitch Perfect', 'The Sing Off', The House Jacks, CASA Founder. 'An enchanting human study, a compelling musical story' JOHN PALMER - Musical Director, The Royal Harmonics. 'I got caught up in the lives of the characters...the more I think about it, the more I want to read it again!' TIM BROOKE-TAYLOR - The Goodies, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
