Dear Sinister Peter Miller said I should write to you and who am I to refuse? I’d been feeling a bit under the weather all weekend, but by Sunday night I was ready for some gentle fun so I went to Glasgow’s only (as far as I’m aware) purveyor of Sam Smith’s famous brewed drink products, Mono, where the other big attraction was singist Ally Kerr, and his terrific axe man Mr Chris Leonard. They were very good, but their set was too short. But they were on first, so that’s the way of things. The next bloke was a bit dull, although he did do some whistling as well as singing, but I decided it best to spend the time browsing in hardman Stephen Pastel’s recorde shoppe. I almost went home before the third band but gosh, I’m glad I didn’t! Do you know who got up onstage? That bootylicious headscarf-wearer, Miss Isobel Campbell herself! Blimey, I haven’t seen her in ages, despite living in the same city. She was wearing an utterly gorgeous pair of black knee high boots, a slightly mumsy denim skirt and a black polo neck that was a bit short so her tummy poked out. I’m still trying to decide if this was a deliberate, wanton display of flesh, or if she didn’t realise and might be shocked to discover that her navel was on show. The other thing I noticed about her was how long her hair was – half way down her back, in fact. Other than that, she was quite the same as I remember her – eyeliner, asthmatic hamster voice, blah blah. The band she sang two songs with was called the Green Peppers. It’s a shame none of the support bands was called the Red Tomatoes. I bet people say that to them all the time. Nobody in the audience looked like Ainsley Herriott either, but one chap did bear a strong resemblance to Dominik Diamond of Gamesmaster fame. It WAS Dominik Diamond of Gamesmaster fame! What a celeb-packed night out it was. The next morning, I got up at 6.30am and went to work.
