Peter Stringfellow, the owner of Stringfellows nightclub in London, tells his own story. From his birth in Sheffield in 1940, through two divorces and brushes with the New York mafia and bankruptcy, he recounts how a steelworker's son ended up with his name in lights on both sides of the Atlantic.

A suprising page turner of a book. Stringfellow comes over very sympathetically and not at all as one would imagine.
Yes he is a shagger of the first degree, but he's also big hearted.
A couple of big suprises to be found in the book that I won't reveal.

Born in Sheffield, I remember the club where Peter Stringfellow had some fantastic acts. I did see Pink Floyd playing there. They had a crude way of projecting images on the club walls. It was a rotating glass disc, over a projector lense. Drops of different coloured oils were placed on the disc to give a psychedelic effect. The name of the club was 'KINGS' and also the 'MOJO' and was in the area of Firs Hill. My friends and I would ride Lambretta and Vespa scooters up and down the road immediately in front of the club. I have read the book and it is brilliant. It does help that I can relate to the area. The best bit is when Peter Stringfellows girlfriend went into the bathroom for a bath to find Stevie Wonder sat on the toilet. Peter said, 'don't worry, he can't see anything'.

I picked Peters autobiography to read for no real reason. I thought it would be interesting as he is hardly a dull character. I learnt a lot about his early life, his dealings with the Beatles which I found fascinating. It definetly is an interesting read, especially learning of the success he had, especially as it all came from a pipe dream.
