Just heard the sad news that Kenny Lovegrove has died. Like quite a few others he was an Ivy Shop Richmond customer, from the mid-60s onwards, who ended up working in a number of John Simons' shops, in particular at J.Simons Russell Street from 1981 until the shop's closure. He was a lovely chap with a great dry sense of humour. Hated work, lived for his holidays, the perfect Ivy wardrobe, Elvis Presley, Clarks desert boots and Brentford FC. I worked with him in the shop for a while in the 80s and he was lovely company.
