I think I was talking to his missus at the time.
I imagine stories involving Paul Weller being grumpy and Paul Wellers many wives are a fairly large category!Had some minor beef with Paul Weller once in a hotel bar near Guildford. I don't fully remember what happened, I think I was talking to his missus at the time. I was drinking a tequila sunrise at the time which tells you all you need to know
No I didn’t and not many near me did. It was more a shocked silence and the cry of Judas rang out loudly as a result.Did you boo?
When talking to my daughter I referred to him as Jay-Zed. Apparently that's not how you say it.I had a 20 minute conversation with Jay-Z.
Britons Protection? Think that was his local at one point?Being introduced to Johnny Marr's daughter who then proceeded to get me an AAA pass from her mam to his dressing room, where we had a bit of a chat at Manchester Aviva Studios. A proper 'play it cool, trig' night.
Putting up the Cattle and Cane guys for the night after a Manchester gig.
Performing a set at the Georgian for a joint birthday. I even got a rider.
Drunkenly chatting with Guy Garvey in the very bar that provided the lyric 'there's a hole in the neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall'
No, the Temple of Convenience on Oxford Road, used to be a public toilet. Great jukebox. Big Hands and Night and Day were his other haunts. Britons Protection is a dusty old gem. I once sat next to Maxine Peake having a swift pint of something proper socialist in there, and at Christmas at last orders you often have to queue for a drink next to the Halle Orchestra in all their finery after they've finished their show at the Bridgewater across the road.Britons Protection? Think that was his local at one point?
Was a great pub for years but the service was pretty poor last time I was in there.
I bet that ruined his quiet night watching a film though? "Awww it's in me popcorn"If we are moving onto "people you've had a p*ss next to", had one next to Marc Riley - Mark and Lard - in Cineworld in Didsbury.
Steve Harper used to frequent the same local. Turned up one night with Shay Given. I was a bit p*ssed, walked over to him and said "Now then Ted" (think late 90s Fast Show.....). Didn't look happy, which was fair enough........ But that's football, not rock n roll.......
