Barry grant and ron dicko from brooky fame, Capdown sang happy birthday on my 20th, ian rush, mowed neville southall's lawn, singer from suicide machines when told there was venues in rhyl, colwyn bay, and bangor to play replied in the most whiniest american accent, "is that a city or sumfin?" me and graham coxon from blur had a silent exchange in llandudno burger king once i was working (oh the shame) I looked at him with 'i know who you are' grin he smiled a 'yeah thats me' reply, and as I handed him the food he game me a 'respect for not making a big deal' glance and we parted company, seen moonya an ylanda from nickelodeon in alton towers and met mickey mouse in disney world.

Oh - Phil Lynott driving a snazzy sports car with an even snazzier young lady on board, pulled up in Denbigh and asked me the way to the Sportsmans Arms (I was about 13).
The Elton John piano claim is actually true... (no really it is...) ((honest))

Similarly saw Roy Wood from Wizzard at the traffic lights in Abergele once & Mick Hucknall in a beach buggie in Crete in 1990. A few years earlier met Barry Chuckle in a bar in Ibiza & Max Boyce at Rhodes airport penniless waiting for flight home & gagging for a drink,shouted Oggie Oggie Oggie all over the departure lounge thinking he'd befriend me & buy me endless beverages but he just looked at me like I was a bit slow.

I said 'Hello' to Joey Jones (ex-LFC and Wales left-back) in Llandudno and he stuck his thumbs up and said 'Alright mate.'
Steve Sync and myself also had a few pints with Gerry Byrne (ex-LFC and England left back) at Bar Blu while watching Liverpool on TV and only found out who he was on about the 10th time we'd been with him!
Also I stood behind Crispin Mills (Kula Shaker) at the V Festival while watching Echo & The Bunnymen. He was sharing Poppers with some chav and dancing like a girl.
When I met The Clash, I was only 13 and my then girlfriend was with me. Joe Strummer kept winking at her and put kisses on the bttom of his autograph. I'd have taken him out if he wasn't such of a punk icon and a lot harder than me!! Mikey Dread was also there in the dressing room, still wearing the coat that was still covered in gob from the 1000s of spitting punks who showed their unappreciation to his reggae toasting act.
(The Elton John story is true by the way...)

a few of us met lars frederiksen in jilly's rockworld after rancid played at the apollo in manchester a few years ago, matt misfit bort him a pint but he doesnt drink so i had it instead, then the dj put on olimpia wa, an everyone was on the dancefloor singin an dancin with him.
then we met him another time at the central in manchester after lars & the bastards played in jilly's, an despite his 10 minute encore where he declared to the whole crowd that he loved us all an wanted to drink with us later, we met him an he shrugged his shoulders like a spoilt kid at christmas...
met him at wasted in morecambe again, didnt bother tryin to speak to him, but some punk found a piece of frozen broccolli on the floor, picked it up an lobbed accross the road at lars callin him a 'mtv rockstar wanker'... the brocolli got him right on the noggin! haha

nah i think he's missunderstood, his hard man ways come across as rockstarish i guess if he cant be fucked talking to someone. He spoke to me when i approached him that time in the grand central and in jillys and said hi back in morecombe so ya know, he just saw u off ure trolly and cudnt be fuct i reckon dave! i reckon he deals with the attention better than some would, rememberin he's just a punk raised in a rough way whos not used to the attention, im sure i well couldnt be fuct with people (some very pist up) continuosly in my face all night after a set sometimes .

Mickey Thomas (former Man U and Everton player) once called me a cunt after almost knocking me down near Rhyl High school once...
Then i saw him when I was outside the Man Utd hotel in Budapest (summer 05, Man U v Debrecen o yeah!) and got my revenge by calling him a twat after my mate pointed him out. I ran!
