Bilbo Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I once jammed with Richie Haywood of Little Feat. Had never heard of them at the time... (actually, as I write this, I remember the other people in the no-name band who Richie was jamming with - it was an 18 year old Grant Nicholas of Feeder and then guitarist/keyboard player Brian Sperber, now a big time NewY York Producer (Blues Traveller, Ric Ocasek, Whitney Houston). I am a now a Senior Probation Officer - where did I go wrong????? Quote

We'd all love to know which celebrity had his c*ck in your hand Quote
largo Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Sat next to Leo Sayer on a flight from Heathrow to Edinburgh. All he wanted to do was talk about fishing ! I also refused to let someone jump the queue ahead of me at security at Heathrow, only to turn around and see it was David Bowie. The security guy gave him the VIP treatment and let him queue jump anyway. Bl***y rock stars ! Quote

lowdown Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Was in a lift in a hotel in Edinburgh... [Early 90's] with a couple of Musicians and.... A very pissed Sarah Ferguson and her minder... She asked if we were having a have a drinks party...? The Minder said 'You are going nowhere with these f*****g nob's ' She said ...'F*****g , oh yes i remember that..!' I am sure it's off with head , now i have let that one out of the bag. Garry Quote

You're being a bit niave me thinks. :-p I played with Status Quo and spoke to the two famous ones. Also, I have an amusing picture of me and my band and Tony Christie! Quote
Deep Thought Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Keith Chegwin turned up on my doorstep 2 years ago and gave my wife a cheque for ten grand (now all gone-very easy to spend ten grand!) Lovely bloke-as is anyone who turns up on my doorstep with a large cheque, but he really was a nice guy. Quote
bnt Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Lemme think... well, I narrowly avoided flattening Robert Fripp as he was coming out the loo, during one of his marathon Soundscapes sessions. The music was still going on while he was away - he could go to hospital for a week. and it would still be going when he got out... Quote

Hamster Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I still bear the scars of helping Ian Gillan change the starter motor in his crappy old Fiat. Hamster Quote

Earbrass Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Back in the mid 90's, I got a lift home from Tilda Swinton. She asked me where would be the best place to buy filing cabinets, and I suggested Exchange and Mart. I've always thought that constituted a kind of bond between us. And I once had a cup of tea and a chat with Mike Leigh during the interval at a play - but didn't realise who it was till afterwards! Oh, and in the mid 80's I used to rent a room from Bernard Hill's ex-missus - he used to come round sometimes. As did Matthew Kelly. Can't think of any others at the mo.... Quote

Bilbo Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I knew a bloke once that was in a party that went to a film preview with Geena Davis. They all, including Davis, arrived at the cinema in a stretch limo. When they left, the limo drove 'round the corner and they all got out a caught the Tube! Fantastic!! Quote
Bass-ic Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 that doesnt surprise me in the slightest! LOL Quote
steve-soar Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Supported Smashing Pumpkins on their firsyt U.K. gig, got ALL of Blur stoned at a Food Records birthday party which resulted in Alex James falling off the stage onto his face and stopping their set ( we were there as one of the bands playing at the Islington Powerhaus) and Having dinner for three evenings with Gary Glitter.....

walplayer Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) I've worked for a few famous ppl and have met a lot of other famous ppl but that's boring so here's my more tenuous claims!!! My mate and i were in a car on the motorway when he [u]thought [/u]he saw the singer from iron maiden!!(whose name i can't remember) Another mate had been in the north east and bought cigarettes and sweets in a little shop owned by the Mum of the drummer from the group yes(think it was durham or consett) There was a picture of him on the wall(alan white).I'm a bit gutted i wasn't there for that one ,as i could have been. And a friend of mine once met Bernie Clifton and he had that emu thing he rides too.(they're actually [u]his[/u] legs though,not the birds, the ones dangling on top are fake!!!)
