shared some pizza with glenn matlock in december although I guess thats not very recent :/
Wicked, what was he like?
No recent celeb spottings of my own but in years gone by I had some great ones, though normally with people who to me are heroes but to most people have no idea who they are as they were mainly people in bands which weren't massive.
My best ever evening was spent in The Royal George Pub in London followed by the London Borderline venue. I was there with a friend as we were due to be interviewing a Band called The Yo-Yos (who no one has ever heard of) who I had previously interviewed on 2 or 3 other occassions. Their lineup included an all time hero of mine, Danny McCormmack who used to play bass in The Wildhearts.
We were supposed to be interviewing them after the gig they were playing that evening. We arrived while they were sound checking at the Borderline and popped round to the pub round the corner with their press agent and others, and sat there drinking and chatting with Andy Cairns from Therapy?, Alistair McGowan (who was much taller than I imagined), a band called The Pulkas and various other people from the rock scene at the time.
When The sound check was finished the Yo-Yos came along to the pub and we drank and chatted with them too.
When it was time for the gig, my friend and I walked past a huge queue (must have been 300 people or more in it), straight to the guest list entrance and got straight in as we were top of the list (which felt brilliant!).
Inside there were loads of people we recognised from the rock music scene, our faves being Rich Battersby (Drummer from The Wildhearts) and Chris McCormack (From 3 Colours Red).
Was an absolutely mind blowing gig!!!
Never did get the interview as the band was busy straight after their set and by the time they were nearly ready for the interview we had to leave cos we needed to get the last train home.
Was one of my best nights ever, and it's rather disappointing when I tell people because they've never heard of any of the people I was really chuffed about meeting!!!
