    About this audiobook

    Frustrated by a dead end job, fed up with renting in London and the loathsome daily commute and, to cap it all, failing to make it as a stand-up comedian, Tommy Barnes was at breaking point. But he didn't break - instead, he made himself redundant and took off to France with girlfriend Rose to pursue his dream of brewing beer.

    Tommy Barnes

    Tommy Barnes was raised on the gritty streets of Letchworth Garden City, home of the first traffic roundabout. He graduated from the University of Sheffield with a degree in Philosophy and subsequently gained a degree in Graphic Design and a masters in Design studies - an astonishing feat for one so liberated of common sense. In 2016 Tommy moved to the Loire Valley in France to start a microbrewery. Disaster follows him like an irate parking attendant. He is currently losing a bitter psychological battle with his two year old dog, Burt.
