bickster Posted July 4, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2010 My boss used to be the drummer for 'The Farm'. Roy Boulter? Indeed. Do you know him? Not really, met him a few times back in the day but that was all ages ago. Thought he'd gone into writing for Hollyoaks etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, met him a few times back in the day but that was all ages ago. Thought he'd gone into writing for Hollyoaks etc? Small world. He did go into writing for TV for a while. He runs Hurricane Films now though with Sol. Quite a good little company and a good bunch of people in there. Hurricane Films has been involved in the making of 'Of Time and the City' and 'Under the Mud'. Check them out if you haven't seen them as they are both good.

soprano Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Stood in the reception of a hotel in Japan a couple of years ago and there was a crowd of scruffy lookin feckers waiting behind me. Only when I'd finished speaking to the receptionist and turned to go to my room did I recognise one of them. It was Chester Bennington lead singer with Linkin Park. Seems they were staying on the floor above me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I was once on holiday and met a girl who was the niece of Razor Ruddock. I got taught at college by the drummer and bassist of Pop Will Eat Itself. I have played at the Carling Academy 2 (Before it moved to 02) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 5, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2010 This thread's been going so long, this is probably a Bin Dunne, but.... when our kids were little our babysitter was a girl who is now married to the guitarist from The Kaiser Chiefs.

GarethRDR Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 My college lecturer produced albums for Status Quo, The Moody Blues and Nightwish. My girlfriend's cousin is the co-chairman of Universal Studios. I've built lego spaceships with Kasper Schmeichel (whilst trying to tell him Neville Southall was a better keeper than his Dad). I'm distantly related to Edward G. Robinson. My Dad nearly started World War III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 My college lecturer produced albums for Status Quo, The Moody Blues and Nightwish.Pip Williams? Yup. Really nice chap too. Was at Reading College of Arts & Design as he was one of the few producers in the country that knew how to work Gus Dudgeon's old mixing desk that had been donated to the College. We all got massively **** off when Thames Valley University took over the College and immediately pinched all the best tutors, including Pip.

GarethRDR Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 He was in a RAF Helicopter that accidently landed on Russian soil. Apparently, it took them 30 seconds to realise their mistake and get the **** back up in the air but the entirety of the way back they were shadowed by a Hind and were bricking it.
