The night I met John Kennedy

Back in the world where I have a social life again and I'm off to another They Came From The Stars I Saw Them gig.

This time it was at The Barfly in Camden for Xfm's regular Xposure Live event.

Hosted by the beautifully, wonderful, genius that is John Kennedy.

Turned up in time to see some of the first act, who were ok but nothing very memorable.

Then the Stars got up onto the stage and this little man, who looked really familiar came and said hello, mainly I think at Adi but looking back I like to think in general.

Then the little man got up on the stage to in-tro-duce the Stars.

So in case you aren't good at the maths the little man that seemed so familiar turned out not to be an acquaintance of ours through the Stars or such like, as we both kind of assumed, but John Kennedy.

John Kennedy spoke to me!

I know this is pathetic, but I love this guy I felt the same way as I did when I bumped into Simon Amstell and at least this time I didn't recognise him straight off, being more used to his voice than his face, and start babbling at him star struck.

The Stars of course were brilliant and it was hilarious watching the Camden cool set doing or being baffled by the rabbit, seal, monkey dance.

The headlining act were nothing on The Chap and not much on the Stars, but of course that's what most of the cool set had come to see, so after a couple of songs we left them to it.

Everyone!

Rabbit.

Seal.

Monkey.
