it was ray dorset of mungo jerry "in the summertime" fame.
sidies have now gone, so he lost the bear look, but the fro remains.
Personally I would charge more than £9 to work on that mass of cool

Oh balls
Too late 🙄
Eh; so when I said Mungo Jerry and you said close, what wasn't close enough for you to say 'correct' then?

because Mungo Jerry was a band, not a person, whereas he actually saw Ray Dorset. So close, but not correct.
Quite simple, really
and don't get all semantic over how Ray Dorset was only part of Mungo Jerry - he was Mungo Jerry.
And besides, the rest of the band were hiding in the back of his afro, so were also technically in the chair too.
that genuinely crossed in the ether.
andy P... you win, your post was not there when I typed my reply.
how did you know? there were over a million big haired stars in the 70s
andy P IS Mungo Jerry
Andy_P didn't even enter and now you say he's won!
WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[can i have some stickers for the mental anguish being caused?]
ok i admit i am a crap quiz master... yes you can have stickers... email me on charlie@charliethebikemonger.com happy to send some.
can i just have stickers without all the crawling and bawling please?
no worries just email me with or without whining and we will send some lightly offensive stickers
Nothing wrong as a quizmaster, it was a great quiz. I wouldn't ask you to proof read something though.....
[btw - I was kidding about mental anguish, for avoidance of doubt. Email on it's way though.....]
Anyway - what sort of cut did he go for?

it was a frizzy afro bit long at the back, a bit like weird al yankovich
So what's he doing now then? Apart from having his hair cut.
woah, hold up friend!!
Ray / Mungo - definite afro
Wierd Al - sort of a mullet / perm hybrid.
Definitely not the same. I'm sincerely beginning to doubt the validity of your story - there are discrepancies creeping in all over.
We had a well known musician in the shop this week....
it was indeed less frizzy fro and more curly weird al
apparently living in bournemouth and germany, still writing and recording
who was in the shop?
Started out as a teenager back in the sixties, still performing, likes his bikes, an all round nice chap....who could it be?
Jimmy Page?
Phil Spector?
paul mccartney?
Went to a local nightclub to watch him back in the midst of time, his first song was In The Summertime which he somehow made last about ten minutes 😕 then he did a few crappy self penned tunes before doing some even crappier covers of other peoples songs (first set over thank ****) 😛
His second set was the same as the first but in reverse order, only this time he seemed to make his main song last 15 minutes 😥
He seemed a bit bewildered when the crowed started to jeer 😈 near the end and couldn't get out of there quick enough when he had finished 😀
did he have an afro or a perm / mullet combo at that point ;-0
Keep guessing!
Ralf Hutter?
