Dave Dazzle, 'King of Clowns', Circus Del Oro, Shepherds Bush Green, 1973.
The Del Oro circus was the first circus ever to show on Shepherd's Bush Green. Dave Dazzle, a former solicitor, convinced Rikki Del Oro to allow him to manage the circus and to let him change it's name to 'Circus A-go-go' under the pretext of providing acts and large amounts of publicity. In fact, he supplied no journalists, only two go-go girls, and then disappeared without paying anyone.
