- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Barber shops are traditionally associated with music-making and many men who may now have lost their hair can still remember the barber shop quartets complete with music and moustachios. Keeping up the old tradition but giving it a modern twist is a barber shop in Hounslow where they have introduced a skiffle group to entertain the customers - an excellent idea providing the assistants can resist the temptation to "dig" with the razor.
