The thread in which PHers reveal tenuous links to famous people.

I have played in bands at support gigs for [Spunge] (Google 'kicking pigeons' if you like 90's dodgy ska-punk), The Selecter (Google 'on my radio' if you have any recollection of the '80's) and Masked Intuder (google 'heart shaped guitar' if you like good music 
).
Had the offer of touring with New Found Glory too, but our manager at the time didn't think it was a good idea. It was the Sticks And Stones album tour - the album that turned them into a 'big thing'. Bugger.

I've seen [spunge] a number of times, in fact Alex is a friend of a friend that I have met a few times. Which band were you in?).

A few years ago, there was a programme on the BBC called "Girl Cops" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007cg3r) where they followed female Police officers around with cameras. I never watched it.
Well I've just found out my next door neighbour (a female Police officer) was in it. I feel a bit awkward around her now that I've found out she's a celebrity.

For [Spunge], it was a band called 01NoWon. Supported them about 4 or 5 times in southampton and salisbury, cracking bunch of blokes! Never seen a band work so hard to do something they enjoy - I believe most (all?) of them have normal jobs and just use all their annual leave and a lot of unpaid leave to tour.
Do you know Simon B, the bassist?Jonboy_t said:

I think Jarv was the bassist at the time. I remember Alex very well, but I doubt any of them would remember the fat drummer from the s

Ah OK. Simon's my best mate at work and is now in a thrash metal band called Suicide Watch
I once played for a band who supported a band who used to have a member who is now mates with Evenflow There's a whole new thread there - The Tenuous Links To Other PHers Thread (Vol I)!
I went to senior school with Hugh Dancy. He married Claie Danes, and made it as an actor.
Very nice guy too.

Went to junior school with Kirsty Gallacher. She was my first kiss/crush aged 7! Our parents live round the corner from each other and my Dad and Bernard were good mates. Haven't seen the family since my old man passed away.

Years ago ideas installing an EPOS system is a clothes shop in Stoke. The manager said l "Look, there's Nick Hancock walking down the street. He's a bit of a tt". It was Nick Hancock, but I can't confirm if he is a tt of not as he just walked past without looking up.What does he do these days?
