I've met Hayseed Dixie. And one of them kissed my hand. So there. :bah:

Oh and I got the Hives' autographs when I was at the V Festival 2 years ago as well, but they were being miserable buggers so I didn't hang around for too long.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Not nearly as many as you Jono :P

|When you say "met" does that encompass everything from brushed past in a club through served in a shop, talked to at a party, dated, did it with,went out with before they were famous?

And can we count tenuous connections like "I know someone who knows someone who delivers groceries to their house?? :D :D

UM is a nice place

I've met Fred MacAulay (he signed my school homework diary :D) and Michelle McManus - I suppose they aren't proper celebrities, but Fred has slept in the same room as Colin Murray :D:D:D

Any tips on where/how to meet celebrities?

I have never seen any famous people when I have been in London.

I even made a point of walking the whole length on The Kings road once and still nothing.

I do have a very good friend who is an agent though and so I like to experience celebrity through her. She is Jodi Albert's agent and often goes out with Jodi and the Westlife boys. Also her best friend is Naomi from Eastenders and I have a picture of her at a party stood next to DanRad ;)

Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl in scabby student council office when they played QM Union Glasgow Uni 1992. Saw it freeeee! Don't know how that concert was ever pulled off, but feel v fortunate to have been there. Lovely men.

This is most impressive

Have tonnes more, but then I'm old.

Just cos they're famous....doesn't mean they're any better than us, so what's the fuss?

I know that Keith Chegwin comes into where i work about once a month to record voiceovers for TV ads. He even sponsored my boss to run the London Marathon this year!!

Never actually met him though.

I Spoke to Scott Mills about 3 years ago when he was covering breakfast and did "Tedious Half Hour" which was really cool. I've also seen Chris Tarrant in a little village called Woolhampton which is about 10 mins down the road from me.

    • Nikita Kanda is covering the weekend mid afternoon slot a few times over the next few weeks, as is Ore.
    • No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it. 
    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
