About this listen

“Mullets, tragedies and knowing the right plates to smash.”

Actor, writer and comedienne Olga Thompson shares her story of growing up in the 80s, in her vibrant family hair salon, El Greco Of Hornsey. A quirky, yet candid account of ‘growing up Greek’, in a post immigrant Britain.

Join Olga as she sweeps up the Split Ends of her life, reflecting on her childhood, navigating the ups and the downs of motherhood and getting real about menopause (with every hairdressing pun intended).

From hilarious anecdotes to both heartbreaking and heartwarming moments, she takes the listener on a journey through her upbringing with nostalgia, humour and authenticity.

So come on, step through the door of El Greco, and enjoy the highlights and lowlights so far, finished off with a generous spray of big, fat, Greek encouragement.

That was a F%VKING clucking fascinating read! A real open, honest, raw and real account of a disco ball life!! The broken mirror put back together to spin around in the room and SPARKLE with confidence and knowing! I tried to use it as an eyeliner but it didn’t work….(🤣) - you’ll need to read to understand and frankly when you understand others they make sense and the world is a happier place!! Hairs How!! Remember that magazine?!!
