When in one of the pubs in the High Street, I noticed, perhaps not a mass upsurge but considerable interest (mainly from the ladies) for a young man whom, had just entered the establishment. As he squeezed through the crowds of Saturday night revelers, I was amazed to discover it was Kevin Simm from the original (2001) ITV Popstar&#8217;s runners-up band, Liberty X. It was on his return through the crowds heading out of the public house, that I was able to make eye contact, smile and say &#8220;Hi&#8221;. My thoughts fell back to the MasterCard poster campaign, which had come to climax, for the Brit Awards on Thursday 20th February! The poster has the image of a young teenage girl, at the front of a crowd at a West Life concert, with the classic words underneath: &#8220;Star gazing: priceless&#8221;. An ideal way to describe my experience on Saturday night. Its amazing how much we realize that when we do meet some &#8216;celebrity&#8217;, that they are indeed &#8216;human&#8217; and no different from ourselves. Its just unfortunate, or perhaps fortunate (depending on your own personal view point) that it takes a moment, of &#8216;star gazing&#8217; for us to come to this perhaps obvious conclusion.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-e-g.co.uk\/blog\/?page_id=163\">Audio<\/a> page &#8211; fully updated, with latest version of my now, &#8220;World Famous&#8221; MP3 Collection!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went out in Bedford for the first time last night with some work colleagues and had a quite a good time.
