I once played a gig where a Shrewsbury Town footballer was present.

Nothing at all! But the T&C's my clients sign to might be a little disappointed if I broke their confidentiality policy on a website where postings can be read on the world wide web.
However, the following 'clients' did not sign to such T&Cs with the company, to name a few
:
Henry Cooper
Adam Faith
Sean Williamson
Sir Jimmy Savile
Frank Bruno

Andy, it's cos you haven't got anyone famous down your neck of the woods. OK Noel Edmonds, oh and Elkie Brooks is just down the road. Other than that, I can't think of anyone else.

mikeee
Mar 4 2005, 12:19 AM
Wurels are Somerset
Benny from Crossroads - Kings Oak (lol)
Doesn't the Cow come from Cornwall??
Wurel Gummidge - two doors down from me
Jethro - Virgin Islands - Tax exile
Isnt Joss Stone from Devon ? I think andys had her. There are loads of famous people living in Devon and Cornwall unfortunately they dont come from there except for aphex twin.!
YourBigEvent

Joss Stone is only a few miles away, Beryl Cook too, The Wurzels are from Devon, Jethro's nightclub is 50 miles away, Noel Edmunds is Deputy Chief Commissioner of Devon, Ade Edmundson and Jennifer Saunders live about 15 miles away, Beryl Tate, Agatha Christie, Dave Lee Travis, Mike Dickin, Robert Smith has a house anout 8 miles away, Chris Shepard used to live in Cornwall.
Not many are Devonian, but they come here to live.
PS You are correct about Joss Chris
Dont think Agatha Christie is still alive Andy ! Pete Townsend lives near St Austell, Sting has a house near there too, Andrew Ridgely runs a bar on the north coast and jean shrimpton runs one in Penzance, Ralph Mctell at Polgooth, Peter Skellern at Polruan, Keith Richards at London Apprentice, Annie Lennox on the south coast and various actors etc have houses in Cornwall. I think Chris Evans has a place near you Andy.

Like ADS & CS, I don't think it is professional to name customers here.
I have done events for a hand full of well know people (mainly in the music industry), but it looks like some of you have worked for many more than I have.

I've done a gig once and a Girl Group called "Ttorria" were there but that was about it. They getting somewhere now and releasing a CD pretty soon.
At my daytime job I have served Bob Monkhouse on the Customer Service desk. And the drummer from Kajagoogoo too as he only lives down the road.
Am waiting for Jamelia to be at a gig next as she has just moved to Edlesborough.

Well, this can be looked at many different ways.
Out of ettiquete, it might be better to be asked - sometimes the 'celebs' do for a giggle. But from experience, most don't.
One former 60s 'celebs' manager/agent/secretary (oh I don't know) made it pretty clear at a charity event not to play any music WHATSOEVER by the celeb!!!
On another occasion, I directed an enquiry to a 'celeb' via their entourage as a 'request' of their track was asked for by a guest. A little later, the reply came back "only if the 'celeb' can introduce the track!
What a nice gesture.... and it went down a storm when the 'celeb' demanded on the mic for the crowd to hit the floor!

I know a guy who very first job when he was 16 was to stand in the stage wings, wait for Kim Wilde to run of stage, she then took her top off, he wiped her down witha towel and gave her a new top to put on.
