Listen Later

In Episode 2, we talked to Leslie Cavendish, known in The Beatles world for his book The Cutting Edge: The Story of the Beatles’ Hairdresser Who Defined an Era. 

This isn’t a story about Leslie, it’s Leslie’s story!

As you will hear, Leslie shares his experience as The Beatles' barber. The history, the lessons, the behind-the-scenes.

He talks about Vidal Sasson and his life as a visionary hairdresser, plus his inspiration as a Zionist. 

He also confirmed many of my theories and insights about some of the other stories in this season.
