pretty green eyes, my nephew plays in Mark Owens current band. They've just finished touring to promote the new album which is out next week. I went to the last gig - in Bristol - and it was fab. Mark has a new manager and has dropped the 'sissy boy' image and is now writing terrific stuff - I know I'm biased but I loved it. Lucy. |

When I was 17(long before I started to trace my tree) & on holiday in Scarborough, Barbara Windsor came into our hotel. I knew then that she was a DEEKS by birth, same as me, but I couldn't pluck up the courage to say hello to her. How I wish I had now! Helen |

Spent the night at Elkie Brookes house in Hither Green, London in the 60's after meeting up with her in Club 100 or Ronnie Scott's (can't remember which) - I used to go to London to stay with my boyfrind when he was working there. and he was friendly with Elkie - I think it was when she was with Vinegar Joe. On the Sunday a.m. Ebony Keys came round to help with some auditions they were holding. Met up with the group DART when they had been performing in Norwich and had a great party at their hotel. Had a comedian stay at my house each time he was performing at the club I worked at - I think his name was Chalky White but I can't remember. He liked staying at mine so much he brought his wife once - she hated hotels and usually wouldn't travel with him. Met Eddie the Eagle when he came to open the pub near me called The Eagle and took a photo of my small son with him. |

A couple of years ago , I went to have my nails done in Warrington with my daughter and as I walked into the shop I saw a familiar face...so as you do I said ' Hi chuck, you ok?' The reply was ' Fine thanks and you?' ' Yes great'...smiled and sat in my seat to have a manicure. Only then did I realise that the familiar face was that of ' Tyrone' in Coronation Street. We had a little giggle about it...what a nice lad!! lol Anne :))) |

Ordinary places - Andrew Marr on our holiday flight, Rowan Atkinson outside Harrods, Rory McGrath in my local supermarket, Carol Vooderman at Wembley (sitting in front of us at the Charity Shield a few years ago). Other places - Westlife, Max Beesley, Matt Goss (snogged him), Bill Wyman, Tara TP (surprisingly a really nice person), Katrina (and the waves), June Brown (Dot Eastenders - a really lovely, funny lady) and a few others I can't remember. Daughter Fran has met loads of stars most were lovely and a few were less than lovely apparently! Daisy |

Must say first. My Grandad was in the same trenches as David Niven during the War. Arthur Askey held me in his arms when I was too little to remember, according to my Mum. Snogged Davey Johnstone. ( Elton Johns Guitarist ) on a couple of occasions. Will say no more. Used to serve Roy Wood and his wife in the Chemist shop I worked in in Aldridge, Staffs. 1970. Worked for Lee Electric Lighting/International in London where they made Steptow and Son. etc. Met Wilfred Brambell, Harry H Corbett, loads of times. Said 'Hello' to two of the original Lindisfarne members only ten days ago, that use our local pub. Jenny. . |
