Oh decorated the wedding for Simon Ward's daughter a few years ago

Went to school with Simon Ward - remember watching him in all the school plays!

In the 60s met all of the top groups - Beatles, Stones, Who, Animals, Spencer Davis, Chuck Berry, Yardbirds and lots of others.

Met Tom Jones in a casino in Atlantic City.

When I was at school, my mates brother was best buddies with Fish from Marillion.  He was a idiot.


Spent a few hours last Christmas Day with a certain Touring Car driver - mate of my brother's.

Went to school with the chess champion Nigel Short.
He always seemed to think he was somebody cause he had been on TV.

Wow! It's all flooding back now. Many years ago i had 6 month fun fling with a well to do Horsey girl who i should'nt name but she was lovely. Her Dad knew Marty Wilde, & the daughter in question dumped me to marry his bass player (Eddie?). They divorced & have a daughter. We still speak or text occasionally. 8-)

Ow yes, I work with the original lead guitarist of Iron Maiden....

The original singer started a band called Killers and a friend became the lead guitarist until sacked for his image (short and a bit fat), then Dianno tried to get him involved again for another album but he didn't bother - think my friend was in Lionsheart next.

I thought he was a bit of a nob too - saw them many years ago - not a bad band but seen a lot better, didn't chase autographs or anything - they were only interested in chatting up girls after.

Most of the musicians I knew were borderline famous

their studio was in knebworth at one stage. think its a curtain shop now. i remember going to party hosted by kim wildes sister, not that i knew it at the time, and half way through all the lights go on and the sound off and theres kim wilde in the middle of the room screaming at everyone to 'get the fk out of this house now'. quite surreal after downing a few bevvies...

that isnt my 'spotting famous people' contribution as such but couldnt help but think of the occasion reading jimmas post hehehe

not so much kids in america, more 'kids in hitchin'

I have seen Colin McCrae and Tommy Makkinen driving on the M5 in Subaru and Mitsu.

was at a 'team building' exercise in the Forest of Dean some years ago, in the hotel Richard Burns (RIP :'() & Juha Kankkunen were going out for a pre- RAC rally shakedown so got both their autographs.

sadly missed talent :'(

THats the one!

He used to own a BMW 750iL and he bought it from the garage my dad used to work at, when I saw the car it was in a filling station being driven by Mike Teagues uncle.

I know the reg number too!

Best car I saw there was a turbo 535 with around 700bhp when in full tune
