It's only Rock n' Roll

There were still a few star spotters outside the Malmaison hotel at 2 o'clock today, although the numbers had dwindled.

I suggested that we could bait them by shouting "Look it's Duffy!" and running past wearing a blonde wig - but we were fresh out of theatrical props in the office.

Speaking of celebrity impressions, I've remembered an incident from a long time ago...

I went to see the Rolling Stones at St James' park in Newcastle in 1982. They were giving out pink circular foam pads for the audience to use as comfy seats (needless to say most of them got thrown about).

Before the gig was due to start, one joker managed to get onto the stage, folded a pink foam disc in two, stuck it in his mouth and pranced across the stage doing a Mick Jagger impression - priceless! Even the Security were chuckling as they removed him from the stage area.
