In my younger days I shared a stage with John Otway. Outside of that there are people who I don’t think merit the “famous” label, and a few who do but can’t be mentioned.
I played a festival in MK, followed fairly soon after (I think there was one band between us) by Eddie and the Hotrods and then The Blockheads.
We also played a couple of gigs in Tring supporting Nevile Staple (The Specials) and Ranking Roger (The Beat).
Another band did a festival immediately followed by Miles Hunt (The Wonder Stuff).
That band was aslo followed at The Cavern by a 60s hippie band who took about an hour to set up (mostly because they all seemed to be seriously stoned) but I can't remember who they were, so I guess that doesn't count, but it does allow me to mention playing The Cavern
No thrilling stories, I'm afraid, but they were all very nice folk.
Used to go every week.. regular..always..never missed..
..except the week Robert Plant turned up to have a go...
say they were both crap..kept playing different chords to me and out of time and giving ME looks as if to say ‘who are you and What the fuck you doing’..which to be fair Steve actually said..
Still I enjoyed it..you gotta love lager

A friend of mine played guitar in a covers band and one of the songs they did was Rock’n’roll but the singer insisted on some weird key so they didn’t really play it properly at all. They did a wedding and one of the guests was Robert Plant who got up for a sing. So my friend ( who is a very decent guitarist) had the honour of playing Rock’n’roll completely wrong behind Robert Plant.

I didn't get it and I wasn't surprised!
Oh supported Tony Hadley in the nineties too

My mom had a brain tumour and was in the next bed in the QE to his wife/manager who sadly didnt make it ... ;( we had a few people in common ( his producer simon efemey was a former band mate of mine ) and he seemed a nice chap like you say, but it wasnt the best of circumstances ...
The maverick is my local sometimes ...
