Have you ever met a non-Irish celebrity?

I met William Roache who plays Ken Barlow in Coronation Street at a work do. He was surprised so many people knew who he was and said he didn’t realise Coronation Street was shown in Ireland.

Met Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers and Sting of the Police at the side door of the Apollo in Glasgow after their gig in 1980 and met Hawkwind the band at the side door to the Glasgow Barrowlands in 1985, my mate handed Alan Davies the bassist a spliff which he autographed and handed back to my mate, my mate said you were meant to take a toke of it haha.

I met Hulk Hogan about 25 years ago in a store in France.
Nick Faldo.
Willie Thorne

Bill Clinton. When he visited Ireland as President. I was just a kid. But remember it well. There were hundreds of us there but he seemed to acknowledge me directly and single me out for a greeting. Everyone else there thought the same thing! It was some skill that he had!

Wasn't he practically part of the set of The Lyrics Board?

Who ?

He was a regular panelist on the RTE music quiz Number One in the late 80s/early 90s.

60s folk singer Donovan.

He of "Catch the wind" and "Mellow yellow" fame.

He lives in Ireland for years so I'm not sure if it counts.

Very nice man.

Haha, thats class, definitely sounds like an interesting fella just like his music, I see he's had a few health issues recently hopefully comes through it. I'd love to see him down the line at a gig

James Hetfield - Sound but quiet

Lars Ulrich - Very talkative, interviewed him for Kerrang back in 99

Jason Newsted - Fantastic guy, has so much for fans

Ozzy - Didnt know what day of the week it was both times i met him back in late 90's

Sharron Osbourne - Spot on, had sneaked backstage at the Sabbath Reunion in 97 at The NEC, She figured out what we'd done and thought it hilarious, even telling security to fcuk off when they started walking towards us

Henry Rollins - Probably one of the nicest guys i've met, real interest in what i was saying, told him i was from a small north wales town called Llandudno, said he knew it as he'd played a gig wit Black Flag on Colwyn Bay pier some 10/15yrs previously, described the venue down to a tee

Phil Anselmo - Off his tits after headlining Dynamo in 98, i was over there with a band so had AAA, We went to watch Saxon after Pantera set. Met him a few weeks later at Ozzfest and he wasnt as hammered but actually fcukin remembered the Saxon gig from Dynamo, how i dont know

Lemmy - Total gent, met him quite a few times over the years as he lived in Llandudno/Colwyn Bay for a time, was crewing for a band at a festival at RDS which motorhead headlined, my mate back in the bays birthday so i took a card and asked him to sign it, he wrote…To Dave from Colwyn Bay, from LEMMY, from Colwyn fcukin bay :-)

Slipknot - On their first UK tour, sound guys but fuckin nuts at that time

Brian May - Nice guy, very talkative, excused my mate asking me when i was to him "Who's he?"

Rammstein - Met Til and Richard when they headlined Dynamo in 98, had no idea who they were, was just having a beer and they were standing next to me so got talking, very offish as seemed like they didnt wanna/couldnt speak English

Iron Maiden - Won a BBC Radio 1 comp to play paintball with them and Thunder back in 91, only Bruce and Jan turned up, Jan was spot on, Bruce was a twat. Management arranged a pass for a later gig when Blaze was with them to make up for only 2 turning up at the paintball, Steve, Dave & Nicko were gents, went onstage with them to sing chorus to Heaven Can Wait with Slaven Bilic and a few others

So many others but they're the main ones i guess
