Description
Gentleman on the Door: A Doorman's Story is a memoir that takes readers back to 1980s Leicester, a city often described as dull and grey. The author recounts his time "on the doors" of a bar frequented by the alternative goth, punk, and psychobilly crowd.
From a shy, quiet lad from a white-collar background, Shaw transformed into a goth-loving, steroid-fuelled individual, driven by strong memories of the eighties and early nineties Goth, Punk, and Psychobilly cultures. His vivid recollections are pieced together to form a unique account of life on the doors of some of Leicester's alternative clubs.
This book is a nostalgic look back at a specific era and culture, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who worked in the alternative nightlife scene during that time.
