(OT?) Novels

Recently I've read two novels ("Rotter's club" and "High fidelity") in which
music is a protagonist; but not folk music. I wonder if there are novels
talking about young people who love Martin Carthy, or about people who
hitch-hike to go to a concert of Ray Fisher or don't sleep because they
don't understand why Bandoggs made only one album (Why Bandoggs made only
one album???) or about a McDonald's waiter  who works hard only to buy Peter
Bellamy's "Oak, ash and thorn".
Who knows if it exists, it might even be that it has been translated in
Italian....
