    Lead singer with rubbish band

    played hundreds of gigs in front of mostly the same idiots. Once played in front of a couple of hundred "satisfied" punters in varying states of undress(me that is). Sang a song at a large Barnsley venue whilst having a piss in the bogs.

    Once was met a "disguised" Bono and wife in Dublin

    Bumped into "Jimmy" off emmerdale in a plush l**ds restaurant and at a recent Fall gig.

    One of my mates met prince charles

    So, nowt remarkable.
