Re: Brushes with celebrity (was "Claims To Fame")
I like this NEW thread ........ my 'brushes' with fame (too many to remember) starting with .........
My ex-husband Barry, is a backing musician and has backed nearly all the famous singers from 1970 to today (too many to mention) and most have smiled at me during rehersals, in fact my son Jack (cgull) was on stage with a couple when he was a small child.
I was a follower of Big Jim Sullivan (a non-sleeping groupie)
I have driven past Chris Ewbanks house many times (he has moved now) and waved to him when he has been on his run around town.
I have typed out lyrics to some of Eric Clapton's songs and spoken to him on the phone.
Loads more like that, can't even remember names .........
My uncle (mum's brother Tony Tenser) was a well know film producer in the 60's who had his offices opposite the "Two Eyes" club in soho, so met all the famous pop stars (well saw them) at that time (Tommy Steele etc etc)
