Never Meet Your Heroes
They're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

My eldest daughter, her then boyf and I went to see Suede
some years ago.
We sat high up, and opposite we saw Brett Anderson and a couple of other blokes watching the support playing.
Daughter and boyf were quite starstruck, and lots of people 'downstairs' noticed too and began pointing up at Anderson et al.
After a while they began pointing at us too, and digging each other in the ribs excitedly.
We aren't famous. However, Daughter at the time strongly resembled Delores O'Riordan - cropped hair, stick-thin, floaty frock - and we think she was being mistaken for her.
Daughter spoke in a cod Irish accent for the rest of the evening and was watched respectfully, though not mobbed, on her way out.
So if you were there at the Viccy Hall in Hanley, and you saw Delores - ha ha, it wasn't her!
