I met loads...
Working in a popular indie bar I have had the opportunity to meet loads of people, the ones I remember are...

Phil Jupitus, Steve Lamacq, The Ordinary Boys and the Kaiser Chiefs all in one night, all sound people, sat and had a drink with Ricky Wilson telling him "you lot are gonna be huge one day" - a few weeks later their first single came out, the rest is history.

The Bravery - sat with them swigging JD out the bottle after their gig, fun times all round.

Adam Green - He came into the quiet upstairs bar and had a brief chat because he saw I were bored with doing revision on the bar.

Billie Joe whoever and the rest of Greenday when they came through for a photoshoot in the club next door.

The Soundtrack of Our Lives - Absolute stuck up cunts, made us carry their equipment to their van because they were too lazy to do it themselves.

Busted - Often drank at this bar, and were regularly told to leave as Eyebrows McGee (or Charlie I think) was underage at the time. I had the pleasure of asking if he was actually in Busted once, and he said yeah, so I told him to get out because I just read in the paper he were still only 17. He weren't happy.

Carl Barat - We asked for his autograph so he signed our barbook saying everything was done. Top bloke.

Geoff Hoon - Came to see The Bees for some reason, had a fucking ARMED guard with him, I felt uneasy knowing there were at least 2 guns in the place.

Skinnyman - Again, great bloke, funny as hell but very very common!

The confused one off of Teachers - Often comes in for gigs, very cool with people in general.

Loads more I can't remember but might post later!

Oh yeah and met System of a Down backstage at Leeds, didn't get to chat though as they were going onstage about 5 minutes afterwards.
