Re: Met anybody famous in person

Had quite a long chat on a train journery with this Cockney girl - long time ago.
When she was in nappies these twin lads from down the road used to earn a few coppers baby-sitting her.

They were called Ronnie and Reggie from East end of London.

In other words I aint really met anyone -unless .... I shook hands with Prince Charles and had a 15 second chat about the weather but he's not relly a celeb.

I did once get challenged to a fight by Jean Burnett off Stranglers just cos I threw a can at the stage but the bouncers made a human wall so I couldn't get up there and take him on

I met Don Estelle at Scarborough woolworths in the early 1980's, he was signing copies of his new album, all dressed up like he was in it aint half hot mum, thing is nobody was in the slightest bit interested in him, i felt really sorry for him :cry::cry:

LOL He did exactly the same thing in Redditch Woolworths about the same time! He had a terrific voice but again, not many people were taking much notice.

Hiya,

Met quite a few including:

Johnny Cash
Elton John
Billy Joel
Nik Kershaw
Howard Jones
Paul Young
Tony Hadley
Ross Wilson (of Aussie band Mondo Rock)
Midge Ure

and of course my favourite of all of them

Peter Cox and Richard Drummie of Go West - more times than I can count - and each time I speak to them they are lovely and charming - in fact Richard Drummie helped get me through a difficult time earlier this year and doesn't know how much I appreciated his time and kindness

Re: Met anybody famous in person

I was friends with a girl called Debbie during my late teens and was invited to her 18th Birthday party over at Wolverley, near Kidderminster.
Her brother, John, was there and so was his mate Rob. I had a chat with both of them.
Oh! I'd better tell you their surnames Bonham and Plant. They were in a Rock Band or summit!

Met Joe Walsh on the 7th of july just gone

Went to see the Eagles at the NIA Birmingham,there were 15 fans who went to the meet and greet before the concert.

After being an Eagles fan for so long,I never thought in a million years that I would meet an Eagle


Anyway we were in this room,snacks and cold drinks were provided,there was black curtains right around,we were all waiting for that moment,when hei presto joe appeared,we were all gobsmacked

He shook hands ask our names,a few ladies asked for a hug which they got
He then signed his name on one item only,vinyl,cd,programes etc one lady had his signagure on her tshirt
We had group photos taken with Joe



we then said bye cause he had to get ready for the show,I would do it all again if I had the opportunity and im sure everbody else would too
