Never Meet Your HeroesThey're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Rob Newman and Chaz & DaveI absolutely loved The Mary Whitehouse Experience and years later went to see Rob Newman doing standup at Colchester Arts Centre.
After the gig I went to the bar and was quite surprised to see Mr Newman standing there enjoying a beer. He asked me outright what I thought of the show, I was very surprised that my opinion would mean something to him and he seemed genuinely touched when I replied that I'd enjoyed it. He even bought me a pint for my trouble and we had a brief chat - a thoroughly nice guy.
Bad celebs? Well there's Chaz & Dave, who opened a pub where I was working in 1992. They were polite and amiable, but one of them managed to bring his fucking guitar... Grr!
