“With school over and the sealed world of their dads before them, they hurry towards the conclusion of their adolescence – a magnificent weekend in Manchester, the heart of all that inspires them in working-class Britain. A commitment is made there, against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded: to approach life differently.

“The phone rings thirty years later, half a life away. Tully has bad news and a request that will put their friendship, love, and commitment to the test…

“Mayfly is a testament to youth’s joy and to everyday sorrow. It is a touching farewell to an ancient union that learns the joy and the costs of love.”
