Gentleman on the Door

Set in 80's Leicester, best described as a dull and grey city in the English Midlands, this book tells a bouncers story. His place of work was a bar that was frequented by the "Alternative" goth, punk and psychobilly crowd. During his time "on the doors" he went from a shy, quiet lad from a white collar background to a goth loving, steroid fuelled monster. Shaw has a fantastic memory for events, as they are recalled and pieced together to form the script for his life on the doors of some of Leicester's "alternative" clubs, evoking strong memories of the eighties and early nineties Goth, Punk and Psychobilly cultures.
