Strangers to each other and from widely different backgrounds, together they create magic. Meet Utopia Avenue.This is the story of a unique band's brief, blazing journey from Soho dives to chart success and on to the promised land of America, just when the Summer of Love was giving way to something much darker - a tale of dreams, drugs, sexuality, madness and grief, and of fame's pitfalls.
