Howard Jones in New York, circa 1984 on his first US trip. He was doing a meet and greet at a club one afternoon and only about 12 people showed up (no one was to blame). No one knew who he was yet in the US. We had a nice chat about High Wycombe among other things as I recall (e.g. what is love, anyway?). Super nice guy, very down to earth.

I had diner with them both with family & friends, incredibly humble unassuming and genuinely interested in what you have to say, he had a certain calm presence about him, June was such a delight and beautiful warm eyes, as close to meeting god as you could possibly get.

Does feeding Mrs Windsor count? I didn't personally meet her but my food became very intimate with her. Other than that I have met a few Celebs, non of whom I would say had any influence on me, but like [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] pointed out I have met a number of amazing people on my travels.

Always think it is important to differentiate between ‘met’ (brief hello, possible chat and thank you) and actually spent time with (lengthy conversation, had a drink with etc etc).
Coolest met would be Dave Grohl, only a few mins but very charming etc etc..
Actually spent time with…….Les Ferdinand, watching motorcycle racing, having a couple of drinks over an afternoon blah blah.
Somewhere between the two, Inigo Calderon.

I have just remembered that I met Peggie Sue of the Buddy Holly song in Lubbock Texas at a book signing session and also on a tour coach. She was very laid back and cool about the adulation she was getting, surprised even as it was set up for a tour group from the UK.
Ha, my experience of her was very different. We were in a sauna - just the two of us - and exchanging small talk. I noticed she had a foreign accent but thought nothing more. After a few minutes, the then Mrs Gwylan joined us and after we'd left she told me I'd been talking to Bjork. I, of course, had no idea who she was
Mrs WS bought his MX5 off him. She didn't get to meet him though - all done through an agent. The log book had his Greek name rather than his stage name.

Lew Norris, who has died aged 84, helped to design the high-speed Bluebird boats and car in which Donald Campbell broke post-war water and land speed records; in the 1950s his company, one of the most diverse and innovative of its kind, also invented the automatic seat belt and produced an early go-kart.
Ha just Googled him this came up.

Wow! I found her very interesting and interested - totally at ease with herself and just a view of things slightly outside the normal that was magnetically compelling.

I kept my horse in the stable next to his daughters horse at a 3 day competition. He was there as her father and we were on 'good morning' terms by the third day!

I, erm, declined Kylie Minogue's invitation to go for a drink. In my defence I didn't realise it was her until after she walked away. Still haunts me!

Would I be right in thinking that'd be Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, rather than Jeremy Clarkson and John Cooper Clark? Pretty damn cool if it was
