I once explained the meaning of punk rock to Lutoslawski when he came to give a composition workshop.
That's wonderful! What did you say? And what did he say? |

I don't know if I should admit all this but I have met , several times, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Coverdale, Cozy Powell, Black Crowes ( all of them), Black Sabbath ( all of them)and lots of others !! For those who haven't a clue... heavy rock stars ( in a nutshell!) Oh, and I won 2 tickets to a Michael Jackson concert at Wembley ..   A |

As a fellow Olivier Awards judge I have spent several evenings uncomfortably crushed up against Mariella Frostrup on hard benches in small theatrical venues. We suffer for our art we judges. Oh, and I was once embraced and kissed by Mo Mowlam in the back of a Ministerial car...but I gather that doesn't exactly single me out. Surprisingly pleasant though  |

I've met and had a drink with Trevor Rees-Jones, the only survivor of that car crash. It was about eight months after the event. I've also eaten at the same table as Johnny Morris, he of Animal Magic  |

A, that's brilliant! Brian May and Roger Taylor are huge heroes of mine (Queen fan since childhood, and to this day...). So how did you come to meet all the rock stars? Sound man or something like that? |

Stuart, in assuming A is a man, you are not not on a sound footing.  |

Sound man or something like that? I was lucky in that my daughters were huge fans in their teens and I tagged along to concerts in Manchester ( Apollo) most of the time. We hung around after concerts into the small hours and got autographs etc. One night we had a huge piece of birthday cake as it was Coverdale's daughter's birthday, it was served by a hand pulling pieces off... ! Brian May's band (with Cozy Powell) were super! I had many a good chat with Cozy and met Brian twice We also went to Gosport to see Roger Taylor's band , The Cross -super band, it was a pity it collapsed.. mainly because of Roger I believe. Black Crowes were great, they brought a carpet to concerts and played in slippers ( I think ) ... when high up in the Apollo the audience got quite high on other people's pot !! Those were the days! (I am not a man!)  A |

oops!  Sorry, it was your previous avatar that put me in mind of the 'sound man' idea! Looked like a guy I met in the pub once after a concert... |

I thought Pim Derks was a woman. I'd never seen the name Pim before. You, however, I think are either a striped or a furry creature, and I can't decide which. |

Whereas you, CD, may be the shadow of the thing rather than the thing itself. |
