Second String: The Road to Rocktoberfest 2025

By Ari McKay

Dmitri has been second cello in the F-Holes since the beginning of the band, but he's never been made to feel second best - or at least not musically. He's mostly drifted through life, happy enough at any given moment, but lately he's begun to wonder if there's ever going to be anything more. With most of his bandmates in committed relationships, he's starting to feel like the odd man out; especially since the man he wants seems to have put him firmly in the friend zone.

As the F-Holes gain momentum from their tour and the sensational romance of their lead cellist, Luka, and superstar bass player Kit, drummer Andre finds himself for the first time truly in the public eye: and it's not a place he's comfortable being. It's hard enough nursing an unacknowledged attraction to his bandmate Dmitri, but Andre has secrets he'd rather not be brought out into the light. Faced with a choice of doing what his family wants, or what his heart wants, will he be able to cast off the bonds he took on far too young and find happiness at last?
