That’s Oliver Petton’s business of 80s London club running fame…

Yes, I see him regularly at my gym. He’s married to one of Rocco Forté’s granddaughters.

That’s lovely to see. Lived on the North Wales coast in the early 90s and could pick up his shows, gateway in for me.

Yeah, was a nice surprise, I was walking along the street and thought ‘Eh? That picture looks like Stu Allan!?’ so crossed the road for a ganders.
He deserves it and more, a huge figure in the NW dance scene, a gateway for thousands, never got his props in the national media really.

The two bottom left bring to mind Alan Biley who played for Derby County in the late seventies.
I used to be taken by my grandad to a very old fashioned barber in Derby called Mr Waplington, or ‘Wap the Chop’ who had one cut, a short back and sides.
The story goes that a fashionable youth went in to Waps asking for a cut like Alan Biley, Wap did his best and when the lad complained it didn’t look anything like the Rams’ centre forward the response was “well it would do if he came in ‘ere”.

Reading your post just had flashbacks… We used to be taken to Cliff’s barbers in Bedworth (Beduff) near Coventry by my Dad late 70s, early 80s. Similar philosophy to Henry Ford with the Model T… any cut you want so long as its short.

My local barber growing up was called ‘Bacca the hacker’. Brutal. When I was very little I used to cry and refuse to go.

That bought back memories, Roger the Bodger was ours - lethal with clippers and for chat.
