Morning all Seriously, Is this still running? god you lot must be bored......go have aTurkey sandwhich and maybe it'll have dropped off the board by the time you return New years eve here...Countdown started...have a good one all
Funnily enough, there is a good chance that i may have been one of the blokes on the door that let you into the dressing room !! Used to get Prodigy, UB40 etc all play there...... Small World eh?
Did you Know the Head of Security for the Prodigy, Queens ?? Fella called Colm (Excuse my spelling) ??
We might of been stood right next to each other mate. If it was the same event a couple of young lads were DJ'ing at the aftershow called 'South Central'. Same one ??
Nah mate. i used to work for Showsec & occaisionally scorpion. Mainly at wembley events. Our controller used to deal with the groups own security teams. Funny story how i got into it. Showsec was started by a friend of a friends dad & he just needed bodies. Second concert i did was Phil collins at wembley. we all got assigned our doors and went of. A little while later our controller comes round with a new guy (tim i think) and introduces us, telling us that hes going to be controlling our section. about an hour later he comes back and tells us "Tim is going to be supervising all the doors..Ok we say. Just as the concert starts, Controller comes back and informs us that TIM is running the whole show for the night, doors, turnstyles, personal security, the lot. Me & the 2 guys with me said that this bloke must have kicked some serious arse to get top man that quick & we had a little joke about it betting who could have a go at him. He wasnt a big bloke but you could see he was really fit. anyway night ends and we're all signing out and having a chat and the subject of "Tim" comes up. It turns out he was Ex SAS and had only been out for a couple of weeks. From that moment on, what he said was done how he wanted it & when he wanted it !! Nice bloke though, dont think anyone ever joked about having a go after that !! True Story !! just dont know who you are up against sometimes !
