Not a fan of Cliff but at least he does loads for charity and is not a celeb that is in yer your face every week. He is a down to earth celeb, which i would wish the other "celebs" would follow. -Low profile and do what you can to help others incognito.

Justin Beiber? is this the young lad everyone is mad about now? Hes a child not a bloke. Hope he can cope with all the pressure at this age.

I had a drink in a bar with someone from Big Brother, he was a winner ermmmm,   but give me the coat before i tell you 

The coat of shame for you. Now tell us who it was.

now

Don Estelle, in Woolworths. 

And you've kept him under your dress ever since

Anfoneeeee


*tarra,  hits me arse on the way oot*

John Shuttleworth 

I am hugely impressed. He was an amazing guitarist. Joe Jackson had the best bass player in the world too (was it Graham Maby?). I fully expect Growly Jnr to take the world by storm keep us updated on his progress 

Vince Clarke from Depeche Mode / Yazoo / Erasure. I used to know Jimmy Somerville quite well. And Andy Bell (Erasure) even better

Oh, and I once shared a bottle of Coke with Sandy Shaw.

Me too Slinki  Seen him live lots  (that`s hard to say when ye`ve had a wee sherry trifle) 

I`ve not read the thread properly - I`m off to have a wee look.

 oh i am green with envy   i love them all

 

Wow, in every instance there he was the talented one. Incredibly talented guy who never really got the recognition he deserved.

Yeah, he's the only person I've met and literally been struck dumb. He was really nice though - funny and friendly

His daughter was in Jnr's class and we used to talk in the school playground in the afternoon.  I always thought he looked familiar but I didn't realise who he was for ages. 

Chas and Dave

I "socialised" with Hawkwind. The real ones!

Ian Drury on a plane....he was lovely

and for the coat.......I knocked Davy Jones flat on his face on the top of Richmond Hill

I have met too many to list because of the nature of the work I was in in the 1980s and 1990s; it runs well into three figures.

Awww... I'm glad to hear that, Kaytee.   I always thought he was a lovely guy, and I'm glad I'm not having my illusions shattered.


*thinks about the coat and decides against fessing up about the annual meetings with cheesy 70's pop singer*

Dean Friedman?

your half way there....c'mon spill the beans....

Michael Hutchence and Tim Farris from INXS
Various members of UB40 cos they used to drink at a pub I used
Rammstein a few years ago which no one could beat for me
Seb Bach and Dave Sabo at a backstage party at the NEC donkeys years ago
Bryan Adams

Just remembered - Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen. Lene was really friendly and Nina was a horrible ego monster.

Oh and I fell head first into Michelle Shocked's lap when I was really drunk

That's a vicious rumour!      How the hell did you know?  



 I've been drunk posting again eh?    Gimme the coat......



I must stress, this is not a seedy styleee meeting, although I have been referred to as a groupie  .... 10 members of his forum got together for a gig about 8 years ago, it's become an annual occurence.  One of the group acts as unofficial roadie and the other ran his website for a while so we usually end going for a drink with him after the show.

met dot cotton in wood green years ago...

How did I know? You might have mentioned it once or twice or seventeen times!

What can I say... I'm a saddo and I'm out the closet....

Caprice...she had a single out so it counts!

Never mind pop stars, I'm most thrilled at knowing a 2 x Oscar winner.   Congrats Rawks!

decides against mentioning meeting with Gary Barlow & Jason Orange for the 10th time

I didn't know that RZB!      (I really didn't)


Did I even mention how I saw my beloved Russell at a meet and greet when I was stuck two flights of stairs up and neve got near?   Yeah.. though so.....

I met Russsell after one of his show in 07 at the Hackney Empire, They filmed the show that night for a DVD. He had queues going round the block to meet him, yet posed and signed away for well over an hour. V funny, The ladies loved it, Matt Morgan was there also, Since then it's all gone to the 02.

Ah now.. that I DID know..... I'm almost over hating Mrs RZB now....      He was going around the foyer tapping nubile young blondes on the shoulder when I was there and his minder was giving them passes for the bar....   This was, of course, all pre Katy and wedded bliss.

He really was Kaffers and when he got off, his minion collected my luggage for me and I went to my hotel in his limo.....he was very kind

On Richmond Hill Kaffers?

My lot will probably not mean much to too many of you, but mean loads to me!!!!


Clint Morrison...Pop WIll Eat Itself....top, top bloke...he even posed with and talked to Colin, my rubber duck. A true gent and a legend!!! Interviewed him for mag, went to sound check etc....drank alot and ate lots of biscuits!!!


All of Carter USM....played Scalectrix backstage with them.....top blokes!


Wolfsbane....hitched a lift from one end of Blackpool to the other in their minibus!!!


Mark Shaw from Then Jerico...the most beautiful cheekbones in pop....ever...and quite nice too!!!


Seb Bach from Skid Row....loitered like crazy at stage door and it soooo paid off...a truly beautuful looking man.


All of The Quireboys (late 80's rock)....good blokes and Nigel Mogg pissed himself when I told him I loved him cos he had a massive nose!!!


David Essex...met him several times and he is just scrummy in every way.



A mixed bag!!!!!! Have also met Griff Rhys Jones and Rory McGrath in 'our' pub in Cambridge...they were lovely too. Shaun Hutson (author)...lovely but disappointingly short!! We shared a love of Iron Maiden....and his books are fantastic. Have yet to meet anyone remotely famous who has been a total knoooob!!!
