Famous people encounters

[tekno_teacher]

Every year I'm surprised by who I see wandering around Glastonbury.

Which famous people have you seen and did you have an 'encounter' with them?

The one and only

[let's 'ave it!!!]

I spied on Guy Garvey in a tipi last year

Who really cares

I saw Nicky Grahame (?) from Big Brother in 2010. Wasted and slumped over in the Pyramid field at 2 or 3 in the morning. Classy bird.

[dessie rascal]

No encounters to speak of but one year we saw kiera knightly and howard marks wondering about, seperately I must add!

[Supermerv]

After watching Iggy and the stooges in 2007 we bumped into Killa Kela, we chatted for about 20 mins he was a really nice bloke.

We only spotted him because my wife had seen him on the fruit pastilles advert and thought he was fit!

Had a bop to Wu-Tang Clan next to Phil Jupitus

It was a fair few years ago now and I was having a Monday morning bacon sandwich in the diner which was on the edge of Los Vagueness.... In walked Bez and Keith Allen together and sat at a table just along from me...

Their conversation was an absolute joy to listen to... Monosyllabic grunts which the other seemed to recognise but I didn't. It wasn't English they were speaking and I put it down to 5 days of absolute excess on both of their parts...

Had a chat with Marcus Brigstocke in the Leftfield tent watching Scroobius Pip. He'd just been on the Pyramid stage doing a CND pitch to a really pissed off crowd after NERD had just been booted off, he hadn't enjoyed it very much !

[The60ftOctopus]

I saw Eavis and Prince Charles strolling around in 2010.

Stood next to some guy who shouted "get a real job".

[graham1030]

Stumbled upon a secret set by Jamie T in 2007 on a tiny stage with about 50 people and realised Keith Allen was sat next to me in a deck hair. Sound bloke

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Steve McFadden & Lucy Benjamin (Phill Mitchell & Lisa Fowler). Glasto 2000

Phil Jupitus, pretending to be on his phone, looking stressed. (we were behind him and he never uttered a word, unless of course he was trying to get through) Glasto 2004

Michael Eavis near the Mandella bar getting chugged along in his landrover. Glasto 2008

Pete Bennett winner from Big Brother walking past the lock-ups on the Pyramid field grinning, with his fingers on his lips telling people who recognised him to shush so others wouldnt see him. Glasto 09

Edit: The only 1 we said hello to was Michael Eavis, nice bloke.

Met Macy Gray (2003 I think) as she was wandering out of the Pyramid backstage gate near Webb's Ash campsite.

In my rather messed up state I thought I'd go and say hi and compliment her on her performance a little earlier. We chatted for a bit and she shook my hand but wouldn't let go and dragged me off me to walk with her to check out the nearby campsite. I managed to wriggle free and ran off as my head just couldn't cope with how loud she was.

[Aragorn]

Theres so many people at glasto I never recognise anyone famous lol

[scmusic]

Yeah I must say I've had zero celeb-radar in operation in any of my Glastonbury forays.

Aside, of course, from the ubiquitous Jupitus... that man gets around.

[whisty]

Spoke to Mr Eavis 2008, he pulled up in his Land Rover and asked a question as we entered the site. Saw the bloke off the day time tv sell your home at auction show, made me feel a little bit queasy!
