I'd completely forgetten about this one from years ago.
I went backstage after an Inspiral Carpets gig. Their roadie was Noel Gallagher. He had a funny haircut similar to Clint who played the keyboard/organ. Noel was absolutely tiny. Funny to see him give it the Manc hardman act as they were making a name for themselves. If you saw him in person you'd p!ss your sides. He was also very quiet in the corner. Definitely not the main man in the room! |

One of my drinking buddies in the 80's was the brother of Mark Reilly, the lead singer of Matt Bianco. He got us free tickets to a concert at Brixton Academy where we met him. Whatever happened to them?

Definitely not the main man in the room! friend of a friend saw primal scream at gloster guild hall in the early '90s. liam gallagher was there for some reason and got into an argument with him saying (whiney Manc accent) "F0ck off smelly or i'll have ya - 2 black eyes and that!" :^0 |

Gillian Gilbert, keyboard player with New Order.
I went to see them in the Hacienda in about 1985, and was having a drink about an hour before they were due on stage, and then I spotted her wandering across the dancefloor. Walked over to her, asked if she wanted a drink, and she said yes. So I got her a port and lemonade, and give her a pat on the bum when she left. |

The only celebrity, I ever recall meeting, was Tommy Cannon.
I met him at his home between York and Selby in the pursuit of my business. Had I not known it was him, that I was meeting, I would not have recognised him. He was considerably shorter and older looking than on the box. He had a new, and quite pretty, young wife and a baby to which he made ridiculous goo, goo ga, ga noises. He had the biggest pile of golfing gear, and rails of suits, that I ever saw! We never did the business as he was strapped untill the next panto season! |
