It is with great sadness we update you all that Steve passed away on Friday 8th May. He fought hard until the end and was surrounded by his wife and daughter in a room full of love and peace.

We miss him greatly 🤍 

To all Steve’s and The Lunatic Fringe customers old and new, It is with great sadness to let you all know that Steve has been and has continued to become very unwell due to cancer progression. He battled through with a great and almighty fight as best as he could and continued to sit, putting the world to rights at every opportunity!

He is now resting at the hospice of choice and they are working tirelessly to keep him comfortable.

We are so sad for him that the journey of The Lunatic Fringe had to come to an end this way after over 20 years and we know how much he loved and cherished every single one of you both as clients and friends.

It may be time to hang up the scissors and close the shop but we hope the legacy of him and the fringe lives on forever.

Many thanks to all of you,

Janice and Millie x
