My step brother threw various sharp objects at Black Flag during a gig in Colwyn Bay - finally hitting guitarist Greg Ginn on the head with a bullet cartridge off a bullet belt. Thus ending the gig with a very angry Mr Rollins growling at the crowd.

Nearly got run over by Caprice Les Ferdinand took a playful swing at me in Alton Towers when I was 7 becuase I said he was shit. Got a shot of whiskey bought by Kris Roe of the Ataris.
At a tender age I see more of these moments to come.

1. Had a fistfight with Steve Strange (we were both 8 at the time and in the same primary school class).
2. Got paraletically drunk with Ed Tudor Pole (Tenpole Tudor singer and Crystal Maze presenter) at Colwyn Bay Pier.
3. Gave Slits bassist Tessa Pollitt a sloppy kiss and then realised that the scary dreadhead staring at me was indeed Don Letts and that he was indeed living with M/s Pollitt - I ran!!!
4. Me and a mate gave Girlschool's roadcrew a lift out with their gear after a Colwyn Bay Pier gig because we fancied the two guitarists - years later I found out that one of them was gay and that the other was going out with the roadies (and no, that plural isn't a misprint!!!).
5. Sat chatting with Paul Reaney (Leeds United legend and one of my true footballing heroes) when he was running a youth skills course at Pontins in Prestatyn.
6. Met The Beat in the Imperial Hotel in Colwyn Bay prior to their gig at the Pier - you could tell where they were sat by the cloud of aromatic (ahem!!!) smoke around them.
7. Used to take TV presenter Gaz Top to gigs on a regular basis when I was organising coach trips to Erics, Rotters, Fagins etc.
8. Stepped over a comatose Holly Johnson (then bass player with Big In Japan but eventually to be singer in Frankie Goes To Hollywood) in the ladies toilets at Erics - everyone used the ladies because the mens bogs were permanently knee deep in a rancid mix of floodwater and effluence.
9. Had a drink with Budgie (future Slits/ Banshees drummer) and Ian Broudie when they played a gig with Big In Japan at the 1520 Club in Rhyl.
10. Saw Joe Strummer watching football in a small cafe in Ladbroke Grove during the 1994 World Cup - I was actually too scared to approach him because he has cast such an influence over my life socially, politically and musically - the only time in my life when I've been starstruck.

Ha ha - you piss head. I got up and walked across the stage to use the bogs at the back during the support act at an Alien Sex Fiend gig in the Manchester International. I didn't scream anything about capitalism though - what with owning 3 companies on the stock exchange and a house in Rio and all that...
