Good call Drew. Little wonder Ronnie's cozied up to her with that grin on his face!
dont know her. her father (right behind her) won the meet&greet for 2 and she came with him.
i think she's not even a big stones fan....
Hey - thanks Ronnie.
I used to live in Bradford-escaped after 51 years.
Miss the Museum and Salts Mill - not a lot else though.
Did you know that Martin Celmins aka Jet Black who wrote the Peter Green biography hails from Bradford. He was largely responsible (I thought) for getting Greeney back into the music scene.
He isn't a bad musician either-plays the blues and has supported Fleetwood Mac on tour in the U.S.on tour.writes for Blues and Music periodicals, may have written other books as well.
Was supposed to be writing one on Rory Gallagher but I've never seen it out on the shelves.
nice photo Simon!
I thought Tramps was on E 21st off of 6th Ave? Although it is gone now.
You can subpoena him Deltics and meet him in court

After the 2003 London Astoria show, I had the good fortune to bump into Mick Taylor who was kind enough to sign both my programme and the back of my ticket stub: 
The following night, after his gig at the 100 club (on my birthday), he signed my ticket stub again:
I also shook hands with Bill Wyman as he walked through the arena at the Stones' final O2 show last August.

Met Keef in Studio 54 in 1981/2.
Had the pleasure of meeting Jagger and Jerry Hall at a restaurant on the beach in Barbados in 1993 as the Stones were preparing to record Voodoo Lounge.
They were all polite and gracious.

Following on JLowe's post; my Mrs. worked at the Media Museum back then, but didn't find out about the Stones visit 'til after. A museum security guard told her he had to bollock Keith for junping up and down on the seats. Ronnie asked to go to the pub and one of the directors took him to the Jacob's Well
[www.bbc.co.uk]
Later, the museum staff and family got a sneak preview of 'At The Max' to "see if it's the kind of thing the museum should show". Up til then it had been geographic & nature documentaries. Everybody gave it a big OK and the film was put on.

Hello,
I've just realised/remembered that I met young Bill after a very enjoyable 'Rhythmn Kings' show in Blackpool,back in 2005.
No doubt about it,my memory ain't as good as his,heh-heh!
He was very fan-friendly,now I think about it,as was Mr. Chris Stainton who didn't mind being dragged off the tourbus only to be told repeatedly by me how much I loved his playing on 'Quadrophenia'.
Lucky guy...
Cheers,
Si.

Mick Taylor invited me and a friend onto his tour bus to do some autographs and was really nice chatting about stuff and didn't rush us off. Met Charlie briefly a couple of times on tour, shook his hand once and chatted with him in the hallway of the hotel another time. Shook Ronnie's hand at the George V in Paris and sat at the same table as Jo in the Rattlesnake Inn, sat next to Mick in the Hyatt bar in Cologne and then exchanged pleantries with him at the end of ABB in N America. Briefly spoke to Keith after the opener of B2B at the Ritz Carlton in Chicago.

I met Mick Taylor at the airport of Pisa, in the morning following the Pistoia Blues Festival 2003 where he played (and Bill Wyman's ¨band, too). I asked him an autograph, took a photo with him, and talked briefly with him about the concert (for example, why played such a short list - "They didn't let me play more"), what he liked about the Finnish band Wentus Blues (the band he has toured with Scandinavia few times), etc. Very nice, humble, and honest sounding man.
By the way, those few days in the summer 2003 were the most thrilling ones in my life as a Rolling Stones fan: in four days time I saw all the living Rolling Stones in concert: first Taylor and Wyman at Pistoia, and then The Stones at Helsinki - plus that rare occasion to meet and talk with Taylor... (To be true: each show was the worst I've seen any of them, but that is another story).
Honëstly, I think my occasional running into Taylor, and the chance to talk with me is the perhaps the ultimate thing I could do. Even then I felt myself a bit stupid for interrupting his privacy. In the case of Jagger or Richards or Watts even asking the autograph or a photo would be even too much, forget talking... I mean: to talk what?
- "Hi Keith. I'm Doxa and I'm a fan of yours for 25 years"
-" That's nice, Doxa"
- "So Keith, what is your relationship to Jagger nowadays?"....
- "Huh??"
I mean... if you don't happen to meet - or even 'know' - these people through some professional or family reasons, or that the meeting is somehow prior arranged (making an interview or something), at least I would otherwise felt myself quite idiot to bother their privacy. Better to keep some distance between fans and idols. It would be ridiculous or phony to talk about the weather or the menu with Mick Jagger - because, for god sake, what a hec I would mind about the weather or the menu if Mick Jagger is present?

Ha- I think he was pulling your leg- the late great Greg Ridley (ex-Spooky Tooth) was The Pie's bassist from Day One until the original lineup split in 1975. Anthony "Sooty" Williams played on the 2 lacklustre 80's LPs (a black chap from New York, definitely not Scottish). Hope you didnt buy him a drink...
Supposedly Brian Jones, a pal of Marriotts, was interested in joining the band (their early stuff was in the latter day Small Faces/Music from Big Pink vein) and had arranged to go down to a rehearsal but met his unfortunate demise shortly before.....

Hi,
Haven't been on the forum for a while since the last O2 gig, but yeah, I met Charlie a few times when I was fortunate to be living in the next village to him and I got to know Steve (Shirley's brother, Charlies's sometime drum tech) to play pool and hang out. Charlie even served in the local pub one time when it was really busy and a girl, supposedly a Stones fan, was served and didn't recognise him until after he was gone. Charlie supports a lot of the local childrens'plays, giving stuff to be auctioned etc. When I was setting up my music room in my new house I wrote to Charlie and explained that all the time I'd met him I'd never asked for an autograph but I'd like one to go on the wall, surely enough about 4 months later I got a personalised letter from him, apologising to me thet it had taken so long...needtheless to say, this has been framed and is on display at home.
Ronnie I've met a couple of times in the Aer Lingus Lounge at T1 Heathrow when he and I have been on the same flight from London to Dublin, 1st time 1999 and the only time I bothered him (and Jo) for an autograph. Flew back from Dublin to Heathrow with Ronnie and Jimmy White (snooker player, great pal of Ronnies) a year later, sat next to Jimmy and drank champagne all the way home (sadly those days have gone now that Aer Lingus no longer has business class). Ronnie was a complete gentleman those times I've been priviledged to meet him, also Jo, just so funny !
Haven't met Mick or Keith, but here's hopiong someday.
Cheers,
Chris
Satisfied since 1976

Mick Taylor a couple of times, first time was after a show with John Mayall 3 or 4 years ago. I got autographs from Mick and John. John Mayall was cool. I met him on the way into the show and had a good conversation.
2nd time I met MT was on his way into a show in Glasgow a few weeks ago.
I think I've bust a button on my trousers....
