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.

Celebs ? I've met a few
Quite a few in fact...
I stuck my arse accidentally in Suzi Quattro's face
Have worked with the Wildhearts and consider some of them good friends.
Bought Quentin Tarantino a drink (nice chap)
Got rat-arsed with Thunder
Been on tour with Therapy? and was drinking backstage with them just last week
Know Metallica's sound engineer (the infanous Big Mick)
Have worked with guys from Wolfsbane
Shared a plane with Feeder
Ligged backstage with people like Jimmy Page, Amen (Rich Jones who used to play with them is a mate), The Murderdolls, the Darkness, Velvet Revolver, The Bloodhound Gang and many more
Photographed officially Alice Cooper, Janes Addiction, the Libertines (shit) and many others
Had a certain fairly well known band stay at my house, and watched in awe as the female bassist snogged the merch girl on my double bed (Ace!), and also got on stage with them once and exposed myself to the entire audience
Got drunk with Tim Healy (Dennis from Auf-Wiedersehen Pet)
Had a few beers with Ken Morely (who played Reg Holdsworth in Corrie)
Had breakfast last week with Phil Parkes (ex-West Ham goalie legend)
My mate's daughter was married to Patrick Kluivert, but never met him yet
Had Mark Owen from take that ask me what band I was with (thouroughly nice chap - even let me finish his wine as he had to shoot off)
Used to bump into Jimmy Greaves a lot in the village where I lived
Did a gueard of honour for the Egyptian Prime Minister when I was in the Army
And there are more I am sure, but my memory is a bit hazy. Most of them have been lovely I must admit - its their "assistants" that I find are the true cunts.
