Famous people encounters

[ghandi]

I bumped into John Bramwell ( lead singer of I am Kloot ) at the fork of the entrance to Kidney mead by the old Queens head in 2010. Had a drunken chat for about 20 seconds, both of us trollied, along the lines of " Hey John how you doing, great album, i think your great" he replied, Great cheers, how's your festival", i replied, " Great thanks, see you"

[Bisque]

My best friend told Mariko Doi of the band Yuck to cheer up as she was looking sodding miserable trudging through the mud hand-in-hand with some gentleman.

We had seen some of their set earlier in the day but decided it was rubbish, she looked sodding miserable then too.

Don Letts pulled up next to our car on the A303 whilst stuck in some brief traffic & had a quick natter to my friend who recognised him.

I always try to shake the hand of Tony Benn. Once I did. Top bloke.

[elbongo]

Bumped into stan collymore at the pilton porker stand few years back, was off his tree... or I was... or both. Hilarious, he was loving then fact I knew who he was. Thought about asking if he'd seen Ulrika ka ka lately but bottled it.

[redmosquito]

We saw the bloke from Homes Under the Hammer arguing with his wife in the big sandpit in the kids field in 2011. He looked at me for sympathy but he was being a dick with her so we just ignored him.

We saw him and his wife again the next day when he stopped us and asked if he could take pictures of the trolley we'd pimped up for our little boy. I asked him how much he thought it would fetch at auction. His wife got a proper monk on and stomped off. He said it would fetch millions and scuttled off after her.

I'm a bit surprised that all these sightings of Stan Collymore weren't in the car park.

Yes, Mariko!

I saw Afro Guy out of Yuck at Tramlines in Sheffield 2 years ago, 2 scallies were laughing at his Afro, he definitely has the last laugh.

Only claim to fame is stopping Cerrie Burnell, CBeebies presenter, from entering Glastonbury in 2011 as she didn't have her performers pass or wristband with her.

[Guest]

He convinced my other half and her pal that he was a pornstar prior to them watching them play. Wasn't until they went on stage that she realised they had been played like fools

[rhysieg]

seen Wayne Rooney's brother flashes a load of money around trying to buy cocaine

[rhysieg]

at glasto though: will young ran past us at the back of the pyramid stage 2010...

[harriet]

I saw Keith Allen quite a few years back, he was really nice had a bit of a chat

[neil_d]

My friend used that line on some people last year actually! I hate to break it to you, but you may have been lied to!

[Ruwise]

I've never seen anybody or should I correct that and say I've never noticed that I've seen anybody. I'm not great at recognising people and even when I do I usually assume they must be lookalikes. I once literally bumped into Jane Asher and didn't have a clue who she was (a friend told me who it was) and I served David Beckham and assumed he was a lookalike. He bought a Spice Girls CD and a John Lennon one. I gave him the same look of disdain that I gave all people who bought Spice Girls CD's.

The only person I've ever passed in a street and recognised was Thom Yorke in Manchester when REM were playing. I smiled and didn't say a word (I love him) However even with bands I love I usually don't even know what they look like mainly because I listen to music more than watching videos.

I'm terrible at recognising faces so have no idea which famous people I've met, I once, quite literally, bumped into a chap norn Irish chap, apologised and had a Brie brief cha with his blond haired, Scottish friend. It wasn't until the next day that one of my friends told me they where apparently disc jockeys on a popular wireless station known as Radio One.

[TomfromStroud]

My only encounter has been with the world's most well-respected and famous man, dairy farmer Michael Eavis CBE. I think he told me that the White Stripes were paid to play longer than that.

[zero000]

Ha ha. Mate I was with looked him up afterwards and told me it was actually him. I had far too much bourbon in me at the time to remember his face later on (nor had any idea who the band were). So, could well have been your mate!

Whilst standing alone near the John Peel tent on the Thursday in 2011 waiting for my wife and daughter I started chatting with a few guys. They asked who I was planning to see during the festival. I listed the 5 or 6 we had planned to try to get to.

They went on to ask specifically about Pyramid stage acts. I didn’t add any more to my previous list.

They then focussed on Friday PM at the Pyramid. ‘Not really’ I replied, ‘ I was planning on going to the Park’.

They seemed a little grumpy.

My wife got to me before my daughter, said hi to the chaps as they wandered off.

Now picture the scene.

Daughter drags us to Pyramid PM Friday. On walk Two Door Cinema Club and my wife then states ‘aren’t those the guys you were talking to?’

I then explain to my daughter what had happened and got a torrent of abuse for being sooooo like rude and

everyfink….how could you Dad, you’re so not nice like

OOPS

[Dr Green Thumb]

I saw Eavis and Prince Charles strolling around in 2010.

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

[rachbon]

Harry Enfield and Angus Deyton (together) in The Park in 2010, both looking really grumpy. They ignored us when we said hello.

[Boss84]

Harry Enfield wandering around the park, Alexa Chung in the John Peel tent, Phil Jupitus wandering around the Pyramid field, Emily Eavis hanging out in the Park, and randomly kept bumping into Zane Lowe hanging around the toilets near the John Peel tent...

[rexclark]

In 2010 we saw Lisa Rogers from Scrapheap Challenge getting carted around in a small trolley. She didn't look wasted so I assume she's just rather lazy.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I. HATE. YOU.

[BlackHole2006]

The guy who is the estate agent in Homes Under The Hammer was walking around the circus fields in 2010 and someone spotted him and recognized him and shouted at the top of his voice "LOOK, IT'S THE GUY FROM HOMES UNDER THE HAMMER!!!" then there was a mob of people surrounding him and his wife asking for photos.

Was hilarious
