My Dad Was the King of Clubs by Scott Stringfellow

Scott Stringfellow never had breakfast with the King of Clubs.

That was okay, because the Peter Stringfellow worked at night. As a young man, Scott understood little more than that. But his father was always there for him. Over the years Peter Stringfellow went from being a nightclub owner who signed great acts to the King of Clubs, an international businessman.

From acting to lighting the way, Peter Stringfellow supported his son and his dreams.

After a brief stab at acting, Scott worked in his father's club, the Hippodrome, and learned to be a lighting technician. When an opportunity presented itself, and Scott went into his dream of motorsport racing. His sponsor? His father and his clubs, which were taking the world by storm.

Things came full-circle.

A racing career turned into over two decades of motorsport instruction for Scott, while Peter Stringfellow grew from a nightclub owner in both America and the United Kingdom to a London legend. Tiring of the daily grind of instructing, Scott once again joined his father in the nightlife, working in his clubs for over a decade before his father passed away in 2018.

The Write thing to do.

Those events inspired Scott to write the story of his relationship with his father. At first, it was simply a way of dealing with the pain of losing his father, but as the story took shape this book was born.

This is the story of a son and his father, a man he shared with the world. For Scott Stringfellow, the King of Clubs was simply dad.
