I met Margaret Rutherford when I was a teenager. She was appearing at the Liverpool Playhouse with John Neville,Anna and Raymond Massey,Ralph Richardson. They were all charming and prepared to sign autogrpahs in the pouring rain for 2 sodden schoolgirls but Margaret came out last and insisted we went back inside the stage door with her as "You two little girls are getting soaked" She flung her tapestry wrap over her shoulder ( just like Miss Marple) and hugged us. What a gem!
She was an incredibly kind woman who helped all sorts of waifs and strays. Lucky you to experience this side of her, Did you know that Tony Benn was her cousin? |

I went to see Slash last night. I met Slash himself, Todd Kerns and Frank Sidoris and they were all soooooo nice! Especially Frank and Slash. They took pictures and all, talked to fans and not for only 5 minutes. Very impressed

I met Melinda Messenger today. She was really lovely, genuine and nice. She opened a village shop and we had a good 5 minute chat about where we live, what places we know, me at Uni etc
Got a picture with her too.

He He Cilla

I'm no doubt the only person on the planet.... but I think Dusty was over-rated and at Cilla's best, I preferred her voice over Dusty's. But I will agree re Pet Clark (brilliant, such clarity) and Dionne.
As for Surprise Surpise it was the most cringeworthy show on TV. My dad used to call it Patronise Patronise ![]() It's not much better with Holly Wilobooby except she's far better looking Nicer Norks ![]() Isn't as patronising but it still nauseates And above all doesn't sing that bloody awful nauseating intro song.

Cilla's big advantage was that she had a great record producer in George Martin and some good songs, although some were cover versions on American hits. Her version of the Righteous Brothers' You Lost That Lovin' Feeling was very inferior to theirs. Luckily the record buying public realised it too. Arguably Cilla had greater success as a TV personality than as a singer. |

I follow Danny Baker on Twitter, and one day he said he was off to Waterstones in Greenwich to attend his friend's children's book promotion. I live in the area and wanted to get his book. He was very charming at being "mugged" and insisted on posing for wacky photos and signing my copy. And, he was wearing massive headphones, he really is a music-addict.
In the past, I've met Captain Sensible, chief of the Damned on several occasions. I roadied for my mate's punk band who supported a side-project of his called the Doctor Space Toad Experience, on 4-or five gigs in the North. Not only is he a brilliant musician-totally under-rated-he is a charming,gentle,witty, erudite man, a joy to meet. A strict veggie, loves rabbits and proper beer. |

Met Jarvis Cocker years ago, lovely chap. My friend asked him for an autograph and he wrote her a poem!
Davina Macall was lovely too, met her just before BB started. |

Heard some odd things about Kate Bush recently. Seemingly she is trying to block a public right of way and a beach in Devon, where she has a second home, and is so obsessed with her privacy she even went up in a helicopter to see if people were looking into her garden. Also she seems to go ballistic if anyone catches a glimpse of her in garden in her main home.
However, the singer usually is kind to her closest friends and perfectly fine with fans at occasional conventions. It's just she can't stand anyone near her private world. |

Always remember reading a story that when he was looking for a slogan for the wine he produces he said it should be ''Two Paddocks - it gets you pi$$ed!''.

Of the four most popular British female singers in the 1960s, only Dusty and Petula had significant success in the US, the best test of an artist. Their singing ability was head and shoulders above that of Ciila and Lulu.
Cilla's big advantage was that she had a great record producer in George Martin and some good songs, although some were cover versions on American hits. Her version of the Righteous Brothers' You Lost That Lovin' Feeling was very inferior to theirs. Luckily the record buying public realised it too. Arguably Cilla had greater success as a TV personality than as a singer. For me Cilla's version of "I've been wrong before" is miles ahead of Dusty's for example. You will disagree, as will most others but that's fine. |

I don't like Dusty's voice that much and prefer Cilla's, when she was at the top of her game (pre nose-job). That's my preference but thanks for your response anyway.

Ok I'll admit to being rude. Will you admit to having bad taste in music?
