Gaahl, Bill Steer, Lemmy, Kerry King, to name a few from the music business.

Steve Davis, Ken Doherty through poker, then a rake of other poker pros on top of that.

And Denis Behan, Cork striker...

Met Sean Og a few times as he's in the same dept as me business account but he can go **** himself with the rest of the striking hurlers. Pricks the lot of them.

I met the singer with Feeder at the signing tent at ****** (they were by far the biggest band willing to give their time to it) total legend!
I was wearing a Foo Fighters tshirt and he was saying how he loved them as well,went to see them in London etc.
Then during the gig he actually played some Foos! :eek: :cool:
I maintain they played it coz of me...

I think we should discount Irish 'celebrities' and footballers. They just don't count.

I would love to meet Springsteen. Where did you meet him?

I'm gonna be famous, one day, but I won't count because I'm Irish...

No she genuinely didn't remember him or even know that he was famous. He came over again later in the evening and he was a nice enough fellow - got the beers in!!:D

Writer\director David Lynch, (of Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks fame), after he did a talk in Trinity last year. Was so nervous and overwhelmed didn't think I looked him in the eye. Lovely man.

Seth Rogen - had a 20 minute face to face interview with him. It was pretty awesome. Sound guy.

Messy Missy · 12-01-2009 4:34am

Bono. I got pulled onstage in Boston a few years ago. Then I met him again a couple of times.

Daniel Lanois. Ended up having drinks with him and his band. Very sound chap.

Sugar Ray Leonard. Translated for him at a meeting when he visited Buenos Aires a couple of years ago.

Ali Hewson. Met her at a gig a few years ago. She is a sweetheart.

Probably Liam Neeson, though Michael Palin and Christy Moore where my favourites.

EDIT: NOPE, Albert Finney was, a gent and a playboy even in his late 50's then! Always remember the time and effort he took to get to know you and remembered you later on.

Only famous if you are a Wrestling fan.

You remember the way Never Mind The Buzzcocks used to have a running thing about how much everybody hated G*ri Halliw*ll? Yeah?

I get that now.

She is an unbelievably obnoxious b*tch.

Sold Jay Kay a PSP a few years back. High-fived some of Arcade Fire, which doesn't count as "meeting", but they were the coolest arguable-celebrities I've got to offer, so I choose to insist they count.
