Humph and his Band
Obviously a few years ago now, and a bit off topic as they were all really friendly. Basically it was a fairly basic open-air concert and I was tasked with helping set stuff up but nothing too technical as I was just a volunteer, herding people about beforehand and should have been helping tidy up afterwards.

It turned into "keep the trombonist relatively sober, but lubricated enough for him to be happy" then "steer the trombonist in the right direction while he staggers about" then "please carry the trombonist's case for him when we all head back for a meal, otherwise he will leave it somewhere in the bushes and forget about it" but he was a nice drunk.

Met Humph and his band.....
.....and they were the nicest bunch of people you could ever meet. The trombonist didn't seem the slightest bit drunk. In fact all of them seemed quite drunk indeed!

I'm honoured to have met the glorious Humph before he kicked the bucket and his jazz-band was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen.

I got him to sign a CD that I'd just bought and to this day occasionally look at it and remember the great man that he still is.
