Spike and his Tesco Apple Cider

This is Spike and his can of Tesco Apple Cider.

I met Spike in Slab Square, Nottingham a couple of weeks ago.

He was drinking with two friends. I wanted all three in a row drinking cider, but only Spike came forward for a photo.

I haven't posted this to my 100 Strangers project as I didn't really get much of a back story, other than Spikes preference for music, which you can work out for yourself as his clothes / fashion tell you straight away ...

My choice of using Black and White, two tone one might say, is an ideal genre for Spikes photo
Spike looks like a real character! LOL! He's great and marvelous capture, Phil!

Well I am impressed with Spikes shoe shine Phil! He’s quite a dapper guy! Trying to think his music style...he reminded me of Adam Faith, you will be too young to remember him & I expect he’s far too young to be into that 60’era.

Beautiful capture, Phil. B&w perfect for this shot too. Spike must have been a rocker in his days. I miss the days when we used to go dancing to Beatles music and the other bands of the time.

Very nicely captured, I can see straight away this fella is obviously a character. Reminds me of Joe Pesci.

@happypat Pat, Spike like the Two Tone era of the 80s, A record label that promoted Ska Music from the midlands. The Pork Pie hat gives it away :)
