What’s your coolest claim to fame?
Mine is that I once played pool with Amy Winehouse.

Having a chat backstage with John Lydon and his manager 'Rambo' after a PiL gig in Lisbon does it for me. I know he goes in and out of fashion but as Paul Morley said "He's Johnny Rotten and he can do what he likes".

Was it definitely him then Rob? I can't remember if you definitely clarified it in your book. I hope it was.

I said definitely twice there. Forgive me, drink has been taken

I Mac and Cally are in no doubt. Me, I'm still prepared to believe it was Robert Johnson.

This story has gained me so much agency over the years that when R4 did a little doc about Northern Sky and Nick Drake dropped me off and literally drove off in to the Northern Sky it did not qualify me for a guest slot.

I gave Roger Waters and Nick Mason directions to find an India restaurant in Manchester. It was February 1970 just before a Pink Floyd show at the Manchester Opera House.

Richard Ashcroft is my cousin’s son.

David Gedge once gave me a lift...

Can't beat that, but had Wynona Ryder sitting front row right in front of me at an acoustic set I did at the CMJ music marathon in NYC. And staying there for the duration. I honestly didn't know where to look and still wonder how I remembered the lyrics to my own songs.
