Never Meet Your HeroesThey'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.

I was lucky enoughto meet the late, great John Peel about 5 years ago - the band who had topped the festive 50 that year were playing at a teensy little pub near me. Aft they had finished, I heard a rumour that JP was out in the beer garden; went out and sure enough he was! Shook the mans hand, got an autograph and exchanged some smalltalk. Truly a lovely chap, in fact so lovely that my stereo has been set to volume 11 ever since he passed on :)
As an afterthought - just to prove how nice he was, the reason that he had been at the gig was to pick up the band and take them to stay the night at his house. Legend!
