Bizarre fights...
My very un-rock n roll story containing no famous people happened in Derby. We used to do all the working men's clubs and conservative clubs and the like. This was the Kidney Bean Growers Annual Dinner Dance and Awards Ceremony. We used to do 60s and 70s covers and we did the first set and there was a bit of an unsettled feeling. We thought nothing of it and went outside for a fag and some fresh air and got accosted by a four foot midget who wanted a fight. Ali (6'2" built like the proverbial) told him to Piss off back to Munchkin land, to which the midget said "Oh sorry you looked like you were up for it".

Second set, half way through someone threw a beer mat. "Who threw that?" came the shout. Then another beer mat. And another. We continued to play. Then a chair was thrown. And a table... We ran and hid in the dressing room. Oh, I forgot to mention, the average age of the punters was about 68.

After hiding for 10 minutes we heard a knock on the door. It was a bloke of about 75 who said "I've been knocked down, I've got back up and I'm going out again. Great show".

We finally went out and did the last spot. All these people sat there in stony silence glaring at each other...
