'Barry the Queer. There was a Barry who ran the Bamboo cafe on Springhill, Ladywood. He was areal character, blonde back-combed hair etc. He looked after us young motorbike kids with the odd free cup of coffee when we were broke. The year would be 1968. Barry would be given a lift on the back of a bike into town when the Bamboo closed for the night. He was a nice bloke. I think what made hi so likeable was because he knew what he was, didn't try to hide the fact he was gay and used it to his advantage by playing to the gallery.
