never any major roles
However a younger (and much, much, thinner - albeit with an infinitely more twatlike haircut) tjn made it into the background of a feature on 'The Word' once - I wont say any more, but I was easily visible in the crowd scenes. ahem.

The same summer, I also interrupted filming of the seminal and much loved tv soap 'Albion Market' - they were using the bar of the restaurant I was working in at the time as an outside location. I turned up one morning (hungover as usual from working the night before) to open up, to find the door locked and the blinds down.
So I did what anyone would have done - hammered on the door and bellowed to 'let me the f*** in'. I then heard a voice from inside say 'bugger off - we're busy.'

you what??? I've got work to do, you pillock. cue more hammering on my part, till the door was opened a crack and I'm greeted by the sight of several cameramen, lighting techs, and a rather irate OB director. I've always wondered if and when that would ever surface on 'Alright on the night'...

I'm also in Lush's video for the track 'Superblast' that they recorded at Manchester Poly in 1991 - ace band, and an ace gig.

I also ended up on the coverage for the indoor showjumping trials at Sheffield Arena a few years ago - a company I was working for at the time were providing security for the event, and I could be clearly seen watching the backstage entrance behind the local tv reporter.

so if everyone gets fifteen minutes as mr. warhol suggested, I've had at least thirty seconds or so up to now.

they were ace werent they?
I saw every gig they played in manchester from 1990 up to the last tour - the last time they played, I staked out the venue and got them to sign *all* my records (Gala in limited sleeve, Spooky double 10" vinyl, For Love 10", cd's, the lot - then got accused by Phil of being a spotter when I wouldnt let him sign anything he hadnt played on. which was fair.) theres also a picture of a gurning tjn stood next to Miki outside the venue after the gig somewhere. cheers for clickage!
