People we've met who've met Blur

(People in blue who we've actually spoken to, people in pink who we've just seen around)

The DEFINITE list:

1) Steve Lamacq, super radio DJ

(He's met everybody!)

2) Mat Mower/Motte, Graham Coxon wannabe

(Signed to Graham's record label - must have met him.)

3) Caroline's second cousin

(Met them all in a bar in Birmingham. Lucky cow.)

4) Mr Robert somebody, Film Reviewer for Uncut Magazine

(Competed against Graham in a pub quiz at The Monarch, and also has a friend who went to Dave Rowntree's wedding!)

5) Graham S, Assistant Supervisor of Le Croissant, Euston Station

(Used to live in Camden - bumped into Graham all the time! Also, Graham S has a friend. This friend has two Grahams in the address book of his mobile phone. One is Graham S, one is Graham C - no other than Mr Coxon himself!)

6) Vernon Kaye, T4 presenter, former TOTP+ presenter

(Interviewed Blur on TOTP+ around the time of the Best Of.)

The PROBABLY list

7) Charlotte from Ash

(Might have met them at some pop shindig.)

8) That bloke from Toploader

 (Probably met them, I dunno.)

9) Chris Moyles, fat n funny DJ

(Maybe Blur were walking around Radio One one day?)

10) Comedy Dave, cute n cuddly writer/sidekick for Chris Moyles

(See above. Also, y'know that game where they have to guess between them who the mystery celebrity is who one of them has seen that day? Once it was Damon Albarn.)

11) Rajesh Merchandani, Assistant on the Evening Session

(See explanation to number 10 again. Actually, I'll have to check this one out, but once there was a documentary on the Evening Sesh about independent record labels, and bands who choose to set up their own. Somebody interviewed Graham Coxon about Transcopic, I think it was Rajesh Merchandani.)

12) Beverage serving operatives at 'The Ship' pub, New Cavendish Street, London

(Or should we put this one in the definite pile? Cos Graham/Blur have definitely been interviewed here!)

13) Various employees of Rhythm Records, Camden

(Gray's fave record shop.)

14) Claire, Radio One receptionist, and that Radio One security bloke too.

(We're getting desperate now!)
