    Anyone know where Derek has gone? There is now a Polish girl in the shop - tells me that he has gone to a new business in Kilbarrack. Dont know if its another barbershop, but would like to continue to get hair cut from him. Thanks...

    Are there no signs up on his old place or anything like that?

    I'll be walking by there later and I'll have a look.

    Thanks for looking - no signs, new girl not very helpful, understandable as she probably doesn't want to lose the trade.

    Thanks for making me enter online stalker mode.
    This guy has a blog where he claimes to be a mate of Derek the Barber. There is some contact info on the blog.

    Well he's in a couple of the photos anyway in the link. So I stopped outside there earlier and no mention of his new place or anything like that. Several customers inside so didn't go in to ask. Hopefully the blogger may have more information for you.

    Wow blast from the past in Derek, having lived in Bayside. You'd blink and Derek would have your hair cut. 2 minutes to cut your hair, followed by a 10 minute chat. Nice man. Pity about him being a Mad United fan. He used to have a really old green Merc like he just drove it out of the showroom. Now I know he's in Kilbarrack I must pay him a visit from now on..... Funny. I know the guy who wrote the blog too

    Yeah, he's a great barber! He always slagging me for following Leeds. He's working at the barber shop beside The Foxhound Inn pub in Kilbarrack

    Thanks everyone, great to know thats where he is. A great barber but yes a die hard united fan, I suppose we cant all be perfect.
    Having spent about 15 years or more going to him, its great going in and saying the "usual" - dont want to train a new barber in...
