Title: Celebrities Spotted at The Field or Bar
Post by: Andy on August 15, 2017, 04:04:37 PM
Joe Brown
Robert Plant

Allegedly Alice Cooper but I didn't see him.

Anyone else we should have recognised but didn't?

I think he was camped just in 7b. I certainly saw him sat outside a tent near the gate. Dave Hill, not Alice. (He was in an old Commer van conversion... maybe not!)

That's a crying shame.  I like the idea of Alice Cooper having an old Commer.

Alice, was doing interviews and being sad about the loss of his great friend Glenn Campbell. Oddly they were very close, sharing a history of drink and drugs.

Not sure if he counts as a celebrity but I was stood next to Joe Boyd during Morris On.

Great moment when someone was so looking at life through their camera lens they didn't realise the person waiting for them to take the pic was Trevor Horn.

…I must have been standing the other side of Mr Boyd…during the Morris On set...I think he counts as a music celeb…and not as well known just yet…I saw Big Big Train’s David Longdon at the bar...

according to my better half, I passed Robert Plant without noticing whilst we traversed the mid-field walkway ...  in my defence, I was focused on the look-out for space to park ourselves ...  :)

I probably missed Robert Plant while looking down to avoid dog piles.
