I went to Glastonbury and I met....

[geoffboycott]

Geoff Boycott's Mum and her stick of Rhubarb. Quality half hour spent at the Avalon Inn over half a lager shandy.

[internetjef]

bumped into John Bishop the comedian watching fleet foxes on other a couple of years back

[stuartbert two hats]

Oh I touched Cox last year. Brian Cox.

[LadyP]

Got interviewed by Danny Wallace for radio 2 in 2009, sitting outside our tent drinking wine in the sunshine, he came over when we sang the bbc radio 2 jingle at him. We had a short interview then had to do a random scroll through my iPod and they would play the track it landed on. Ended up being the Beatles which was a bit of a relief, there's some right old cheeseon there, could have been embarrassing! Lovely fella, coped very well with 5 extremely inebriated over-excited ladies!

[formed a band]

Jack white not mos from the it crowd midlake, had a stornoway share my tent

[scaryclaireyfairy]

saw but didn't approach john peel in '04. i don't regret it.

spoke to steve lamacq in either '04 or '07.

saw zane lowe several times over the years and pretended i didn't. he really looks around for people to recognise him. tosser.

thom yorke in '10. i nodded and wished him a good day as i walked past. no one else around seemed to clock him at all.

call me perverse but i actually want to run into keith allen.

[changingman67]

PJ harvey watching the Kills (dancing next to me), Mick Jones walking down from the park - absolutely wasted (lunch time after gorillas had played on the saturday night - i'm sure two girls were helping him) and Chris martin last year.

Never spoke to any of them - though slight regret at PJ harvey as had been to see her that year on her let england shake tour - absolutely top drawer.

[calamitymaud]

Tame Impala... twice!

[JayBalls]

Bumped into Marcus Brigstocke by JP last year, didn't say anything to him as by the time I realised it was him and turned around he had melted into the crowd.

True story.

[jed123]

I've met many of the John Peel band guitarists/drummers, but it always tends to be in the queues/at the loos so is an inappropriate time to do anything other than acknowledge who they are..

[Thea!]

Got a cuddle from Michael Eavis last year, also Wayne and Colleen were sat behind us at the other stage. Met Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) in 2005 who was a bit of a plonker!

[JayBalls]

Got a cuddle from Michael Eavis last year, also Wayne and Colleen were sat behind us at the other stage. Met Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) in 2005 who was a right plonker!

[The Placid Casual]

Saw Norman Cook dancing to Mik Artistik last year

[Popsider75]

Had a good chat to John McClure one year , he is a man of the people.

Bried chat with Bez last year at a deserted Strummerville although he declined my request for a photo as "everyone will want one" even though there was no bugger there in the pissing down rain!

[Andywright88]

We were stood next to Wayne Rooney at the pyramid stage for ages. Once we realised we tried to speak to him and security team dragged him away. He was a complete arsehole. Never even said hi.

[Poliwhirl]

Keith feckin allen and mr michael eavis and pancho and pritchard from dirty sanchez.not all together .if it was i bet michael had a lost weekend .

[abu hamster]

Zoe Ball called me a muppet for asking her what it was like growing up with Bobby Ball.

Simon Day off the fast show

Jessie J when she had a broken foot. Why use 1 note when 27 will do!

I also met a Robert Williams but didn't realise.

my fave was Bill Bailly who was off his face.

[kabillion]

I met Kieth Allen while watching Chic last year. He was a great laugh.

[dondo]

I remember when I was first ligging it in the interstage area in the late 90's. Had spent the day getting pissed and chatting to random celebs like the excitable young thing I was. Then later in the evening, John Peel walked through the area, and all these bigs names stopped and stared, nudging each other going 'You go and talk to him', 'No, I'm too nervous, you go and talk to him'. In the end he walked through the entire area alone and unapproached, off into the night through the mud in his wellies.

The man was the celebrities' celebrity. Gutted I didn't have the bottle to go say hello either.

[silvara]

Bernard Butler walked past me back when Suede were playing on the Other Stage (1993 maybe?)

I also saw Ricky Gervais walking around in a white wedding dress a few years ago - the year that those dresses were the 'must have' item....

[Spindles]

My personal favourite was Sanjay from eastenders, backstage in 2000, he was clearly there for no other reason than to milk his minor sleb status and try to impress women. There were a number of faces we saw through the evening but none with the barefaced ligging panache of our sanj but when Keith Allen walked through with his entourage he was like royalty, it was a bit surreal, he had people following him in a sort of triangle like migrating geese and was both impressively fucked and totally in control at 5am.

I've seen ME every year I've been and only spoke to him for the first time last year, when he and Emily were wandering around by the glade after PiL. I have to confess I was starstruck and gushed a bit, wish I'd got a picture

I'm sure we must all walk past dozens of famous names every year and just not notice.

[adequate8]

Saw Keith Allen riding around on a bike one early morning. Spoke to Yannis from Foals straight after his set at the park, he had his hood up so didn't want to he fussed about but was kind enough to have a natter.

Saw Alexa Chung in a bar at Park and Zane Lowe watching Coldplay who had a pic with the Mrs.

Also spotted Tim Lovejoy, Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq wondering around over the years.

[Woffy]

Just woke and have enjoyed reading this, but:

WTF?!!!!!!!!!

10 times and i haven't met ANYONE famous!

What am i doing wrong? I've met quite a few famous people but NONE at GF.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

A smiling Michael Eavis (God) and his then wife Jean (Emily's mom) walked past me a long long time ago at the festival. I haven't seen anyone famous or semi famous since - except on stage.

[drewsstrat]

Angus Deyton and Harry Enfield together

Harry Enfield and family again in outdoor circus area

Michael eavis twice

And got backstage at Avalon and watched Steve Harley and cockney rebel who acknowledged us as he exited stage
