When I was running pubs up and down the country,I had quite a few "celebs" come through the doors.
Helen Mirren,Timothy Dalton (top bloke and a blue), Ant and Dec (also nice blokes), Jon Snow,Ray Wilkins, Graham Norton, Brian May, John Simpson to name a few. Also Peter Beardsley's brother was a regular in a pub I ran in Newcastle.According to the locals he was a better player than his brother in his youth.Also used to cater regularly for various members of both Houses from Parliament, and a few EU Commissioners when in the Smoke.Also spent a couple of hours chatting to Melvyn Bragg when he was filming an interview in my pub,and Sue Perkins whilst she was also filming in my pub
My real claim to fame though was telling Gibson,when he was at the swamp,to stop being a **** or he could fuck off and take his pikey relatives with him.Also met and had a beer with Alex Williams...another top bloke.
My dad,when he was alive,sang on stage with Ella Fitzgerald (just the one song) and was a pall bearer at David Pegg's funeral (they were at school together)
