Tutti Frutti

In the mid‑80s, Scotland’s music landscape is dominated by the Majestics, a legendary rock ’n’ roll outfit poised for a grand Silver Jubilee tour. The band’s swagger is built on a reputation that has weathered the highs and lows of pub‑filled circuits, and the anticipation of a massive home‑coming tour infuses the air with both pride and unease. The sudden loss of its magnetic frontman, Big Jazza McGlone, casts a long shadow over the rehearsals, turning what should be a celebration into a precarious quest for continuity.

Stepping into the breach is Danny McGlone, the younger brother fresh from New York, whose raw charisma offers a tentative lifeline for the group. He is soon joined by Suzi Kettles, a sharp‑tongued guitarist and old schoolmate whose entry injects a fresh pulse into the band’s chemistry. Overseeing the operation is the shrewd yet morally ambiguous manager Eddie Clockerty, whose tight‑fisted control collides with the creative chaos beneath the surface. Among the veterans, Vincent Diver looms as a larger‑than‑life figure whose personal history adds layers of complexity, while Janice Toner, Eddie’s quick‑witted secretary, provides a dry, sardonic commentary that undercuts the rising tension.

The series balances a gritty, under‑belly realism with a darkly comic sensibility, capturing the clang of amps in cramped club backrooms and the lingering echo of fame’s hollow promises. As the tour rolls through the Scottish towns, the Majestics navigate a landscape of fragile egos, unspoken rivalries, and the relentless pressure of living up to a storied legacy. The tone remains both melancholic and biting, inviting viewers to feel the intoxicating mix of hope, desperation, and the ever‑present threat of collapse that defines life on the road.
