Official synopsis Publisher
Peter Stringfellow is the most famous nightclub owner in the world, proprietor of Stringfellow’s in London’s West End and many more. His life story is not only a classic rags-to-riches tale but one which documents the rise and fall of every musical trend since popular music began. He was born to the sound of falling German bombs in 1940 and built his dreams out of the rubble of the Sheffield blitz. He has survived two divorces, the New York mafia and bankruptcy, and this biography is peppered with anecdotes about the rich and famous. Forthright and humorous, it recounts how a steelworker’s son ended up with his name in lights on both sides of the Atlantic.
