I had a bit of a chat with Ralph McTell once, at a festival...Though, to be honest, I didn't know who he was until after he'd gone.
And, I met Willy Russell at a beer festival (I knew who he was).
For what it's worth, they both seemed like perfectly ordinary and pleasant blokes - the king of guys you'd have a pint with. Which I did.
Oh, oh... I once bumped into John Parrott in my local chippie (I'm guessing this would be in the mid 80's, when he'd just started to break (ho ho) into the big time). I'm pretty sure he's the only guy I've ever seen in a Liverpool chippie wearing a bow-tie.
Damn! Just thought of another one:
I'm on the inside cover of the 2001 Stackridge album "Pick of the Crop" (I only found out about this a couple of weeks ago).
Fuck me - I'm virtually a superstar!
