This is a question Shit Claims to Fame II

My car was in the Specsavers advert with the old lady and the loud stereo. Not me. My stupid blue Nissan Micra. Tell us about your brushes with fame.

A few I forgot. - In which I sit on a hat and play PJ Harvey's guitar.
I sat on Maureen Lipman's hat.
My boyfriend was a lighting chap at the Stephen Joseph theatre and had dinner round Alan Ayckbourn's house, I wasn't invited.

But best of all, my music teacher was John Parish who is the guitarist with PJ Harvey. We used to have music lessons in his recording studio. Every term we would put on a concert in which we all sang or played or what ever we could do.
So in one that I remember well I sang a duet with a guy and played guitar in another song. I didn't have a guitar so I borrowed one of PJ's and played it in the concert, while she was there in the audience.

Another time we did a production of Hamlet for which John wrote the song False Fire. As I was putting together the program he gave me the hand written lyrics for it. Signed and dated. However I have lost them!

That was in about '93. A few years ago he recorded and released the song:

Seeing your music teacher on stage at Glastonbury is rather odd!
