...Toni & Guy I have visited a few of Toni & Guy salons, so I now feel that I can write this review. In 1963 Toni & Guy first salon opened in Clapham London. From there on in, there was no stopping them, nearly every big town has one. If I am correct they also have or are expanding abroad. If you have visited 1 or more Toni & Guy salon?s you will notice that they are all the same, from the chairs to the sinks, the walls to the floor. Each salon is identical, being the inside.

...They say that you start to turn into your parents as you grow older, and in terms of musical appreciation, I've probably been undergoing that metamorphosis for the past couple of years. That's not to say, however, that I've lost touch completely with contemporary music, and I'm always intrigued when artistes from different generations and musical genres get together to perform, whether it's on-stage or in the recording studio. Having reached the age of 80 earlier this year, Tony Bennett has followed in the footsteps of his great mentor, Frank Sinatra, by recording an album of duets with some of today's musical giants, including such "youngsters" as Paul McCartney, Elton John and Billy Joel, along with the likes of Sting, Bono and James Taylor. When it's your 80th birthday party, it's only fair that you get to choose not only... Read review
