Men on the questions of ageing.
Fifty something Andrew and sixty something Simon discuss men and ageing, how men feel about the many issues arising from the changes facing them as they grow older. Getting slower, losing hair, gaining weight, searching for toilets, finding more freedom but also a shedload of financial, physical and emotional upheaval. There’s plenty to make you laugh, more than enough to make you want to cry and each week we talk to the best possible authorities on the process of ageing: ageing men who are making it up as they go along.

Touchy subject, hair. So we felt around and found a charmer. Simon Briar, principal stylist at Michael Van Clarke, one of London’s most prestigious salons for over 35 years. Steeped in a world of style consciousness and high fashion yet grounded as a Southern league kit man. Want to feel relaxed about going Grey and receding? Here’s a man who knows how to do (And does) both with easy acceptance and panache.

JAMIE LUCAS. A picture of ageing.
Our first look at ageing men from a young man’s POV…Photographer/videographer, Jamie Lucas (Cover: With David Bailey). At 25, he’s travelled the world, worked up close with the greatest legends of rock n roll and he’s now doing the same with the most magnificent beasts of the jungle. How does unflinching youth view the transitional life stage us fathers and boomers are now approaching? A time for timidity and tameness? Perhaps not.

OLIVER MARKS. Restoration. A Restorative?
Grew up in Coventry in the heyday of the British car industry. Built a career in tech in Silicon Valley, California. After a chance encounter with an old E-type, now finds himself surrounded by automotive projects, half American and half Jaguars from his native city, all of them “a work in progress”. What drives him? Well, it’s not about getting there. The satisfaction, the pleasure, the meaning, is in the journey.

Changing Attitudes
