About Us
Come and meet Andy Harper - the author of Knitted Swimming Trunks. He will be in the Bay Cafe, Weston on June 29 from 10am until 4pm.
Andy's book tells of his tough upbringing in 1950s and 60s Birmingham and his much loved annual holidays to Weston-super-Mare when his dad would take advantage of Factory Fortnight at the car plant where he worked and take the whole family on holiday to Weston – the town he keeps coming back to almost 70 years later.
Andy takes the reader on a brutally honest, but also funny and ultimately inspirational journey through his hard childhood, where his stammer, nits, alopecia and his propensity to suffer with other ailments made him an easy target for playground bullies, as he reveals why Weston is such a massive part of his life.
From never understanding why everyone kept saying hello to his dad on the promenade to seeing a lady undress in a cheeky What The Butler Saw arcade machine on the Grand Pier, to his night with The Beatles, Andy tells it all with a mixture of wit and painful honesty - including the time he saw The Beatles live at the Weston Odeon.
