About this listen
Jack Tate is hopeless....
Everything he touches turns into a disaster, but he means well. His business is even less successful than his love life. His once-thriving coffee shop was on the brink of bankruptcy, but salvation could be right under his nose.
At the insistence of his loyal and underappreciated assistant, Emma, he sees that the last hope of saving his business could be the only customers who’ve not deserted him for the faceless coffee chains - the old folk.
To attract new customers, Jack and Emma set up the Isle of Man’s first dating and social club for the elderly - The Lonely Heart Attack Club. Eager to give his elderly congregation a sense of purpose, he sets them a challenge that may be one step too far: to become World Record holders.
They may be old but there is plenty of life left in them, and Jack soon realises that they're not just customers; they’ve become friends.
Could his unintended compassion to his wrinkly client base also be the catalyst for romance?

A funny, warm-hearted story set on the Isle of Man
Jack finds himself middle-aged, overweight, and single after his last relationship failed. Despite all the suggestions from Emma, his supportive employee, Jack’s coffee shop is failing to attract much business, the bills are piling up, and he’s facing eviction. When Emma notices the number of vulnerable elderly people in the neighbourhood, she makes a win/win suggestion: the should cafe run a lonely hearts club for the elderly. Jack christens the venture ‘The Lonely Heart Attack Club’ and things start to turn around for everyone. This was written with a lot of sweet humour involving hilarious situations and banter: Emma has a soft spot for the good-naturedly clueless and shambolic Jack and it’s lovely to see their repartee. Audio narrator Chris Devon has a great regional UK accent that really suited the characters - great work!
