Joe Stretch & Hurts bring the rolling dice novel to Spotify

Joe Stretch (full time member of Performance and also novelist) and Hurts have created a unique experience on Spotify in which you get to play the protagonist of the novel Don’t Let Go. Much like the dice rolling “you decide the narrative” books we dabbled with as children (and possibly adults), Don’t Let Go an interactive audio novel, narrated by actress Anna Friel.


Each chapter of the novel has been published as a track on Spotify, and can be located by typing a unique code into the search field. After listening to each chapter of the story you’ll be offered a choice of what to do next, along with the unique code for each action. Your mission is to stop arch villain Guy Lockhart from distributing his heartbreak cocktail and condemning humankind forever to a loveless, empty existence. The drama!

To get started on Don’t Let Go either search for A5M4 in Spotify or click the album cover above.
