90 year old Irish trumpeter and barber honored in radio documentary
'Two Hundred Shaves a Day' tells the story of eighty-year-old Larry Hingerton from Westport.
This documentary weaves together the two strands which have shaped his life – barbering and music. 'Two Hundred Shaves a Day' mixes past and present, and offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkably generous, knowledgeable and modest man.
The story begins in 1951 in London. Larry moved there to train as a barber at the Gents Hair Academy. Replying to an advertisement in the Melody Maker by one Johnny Shakespeare, Larry found a trumpet teacher and mentor for his musical talent.
Upon his return to Westport in 1953, Larry set up his own barber shop and started his own band. To this day a similar balance can be found in his life – occupation and hobby offering a perfect balance for this man's talents.
