John Cigarini - Johnny Cigarini




If you were about at any time during this epic voyage, and I was on the periphery of a lot of it, you will relate, rejoice and reminisce with massive affection of an ever so slightly bygone era. . . It is a brutally honest account of all the fun of the fair of growing up in advertising and film production at a time when the very best of British TV commercials were being created and were worth the effort (anyone remember Yellow Pages and Fly Fishing by PJ Hartley!?) -- and he pulls no punches. It’s decadence and elation meets despair and life-lessons with a lot lot lot of highs in-between.

It’s about a time when the people in this shamelessly “name-dropping” book, took crazy mad nutty chances and the then fledgling companies became international brands (Hard Rock, Models One, The House of Blues, Virgin. . . ). John captures this magically with his account of the launch of the House Of Blues, an amazing venture with his friend, Isaac Tigrett, and despite a loss to John of his entire $300k investment, it was worth it for him because of the fun of it all. . .
