Davie was about to leave the MP3 player lying on the pavement when something stopped him. A voice in his head. You'll regret it if you leave it. You'll only come back for it later.
In Catriona Child's powerful debut novel, Davie Watts is the Trackman. Click the cover for a preview!
When a homeless man gifts Davie with an old MP3 player, he has no idea what to do with it. After all, it is rusted, cracked and doesn't even have any buttons!
But all that changes with two little words
Welcome Trackman
Somehow, the device knows what song to play to you and exactly when you need to hear it.
It is up to Davie to seek out strangers in need and help them using the power of music.
But can a song really change a life?
Can a song bring people, places and moments in time alive again?
Both humourous and poigniant, Catriona Child weaves magic and healing into contemporary Edinburgh through one man and his unusual MP3 player.

Music is a great blessing, it has the power to elevate and liberate us, it sets people free to dream, it can unite us to sing with one voice. Such is the value of music. NELSON MANDELA
Music plays an important role in our everyday lives. It can be exciting or calming, joyful or poignant, can stir memories and powerfully resonate with our feelings, helping us to express them and to communicate with others. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR MUSIC THERAPY
