It was Porchester hall. I chatted to him in the stairwell after they did their encore there. Seemed like a decent sort.

Nick Lowe at the Shacklewell Arms a couple of years ago is one very notable name for me.

Michael Wood, he once of The Broken Family Band, seems to have exactly the same taste in music as me. Pretty much see him at every London show I go to

I stood next to Ghostface Killah and his entourage watching Stars of the Lid at an ATP. He looked genuinely baffled and walked off after about 20 mins while disapprovingly nodding his head.

In the early 2000s, Jack & Meg White regularly turned up at garage rock gigs in London. And I saw Jarvis Cocker at a White Stripes gig back then too.

Shane Magowan bought me a pint after being introduced to me at a gig by his old band mate from the Nips/Nipple Erectors.

Edwyn Collins is friends of a friend of mine and was introduced to me at a gig at the same venue. Nice bloke.

Tons of indie band members I could mention but I’d rather not.

In Manchester it’s always the same people members of The Courteeners, Pins, Elbow, Badly Drawn Boy (although haven’t seen him at a gig for years) et al. Best spot I ‘ve had was Johnny Marr at Wu Lyf when they played on Bridgewater Street only time I’ve seen him at a gig in Manchester

He’s supported plenty of gigs so I’m claiming Stewart Lee at the free Bo Ningen gig at RFH as part of the Yoko Ono Meltdown. Yes, I know he’s not a musician but it’s my first chance to mention it in yonks.

Was that at the Corn Exchange?

I saw nick cave at that show too

I saw the Manics at the Shepard’s Bush Empire in the 90s and Scary spice was there

Often stand near Mary Anne Hobbs at gigs. Tastes overlap and she clearly wants to be halfway back to the side.
