Description
COMMENTS FROM THOSE THAT ARE THE LIGHT OF SHAG DANCING “Harold Bessent and Fat Harold’s Beach Club are to shag dancing and beach music as baseball and apple pie are to America. The resurgence and continued growth and popularity of the shag and beach music are due in a large way to Harold's enthusiastic, energetic, and consistent support.” —Charlie Womble and Jackie McGee, professional shag dancers “Fat Harold’s Beach Club and Harold himself have kept a place to dance for years now, for those young and old alike. There has never been someone that has loved the dance and the people it brings into his life more than Fat Harold. Every beach band wants to say that they have played at Fat Harold’s Beach Club and HOTO’s! That must surely say something about Harold Bessent as a man!” —Jeff Hargett, 2005 National Shag Dance champion “I have known Harold Bessent since I was eleven years old, and for all that time and still today, he has provided a place for the people to dance and listen to this music called beach music. He is truly an ambassador, and I thank you.” —Judy Collins, owner, Judy’s House of Oldies, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
