Saxophonist and writer Alan Newcombe launches his novel Gritstone and performs with three groups:

Mike’s life has become directionless and when he walks out of a marriage in freefall, he has nothing left to lose. He’s headed to Gritstone House, a closed community in the Calder Valley, dominated by the galvanic personality of this old friend Al. He’s been invited to Al’s wedding but stays to see the community implode in hysterical violence – and a group of well-meaning people become murderers.
