Ok so I maybe hadn’t mentioned this on my blog but I got an email saying that Benson had been longlisted for the Felix Factor competition I had entered him for.   They wanted permission to use his photo in the papers and stuff, which obviously I gave gladly!  Anyway have just realised that the winners are now up on The Sun website.  Ah its on the main site too.

Well here’s his entry anyway just for you:

I should probably explain this photo of me and some wondrously hairy men.  Or maybe it’s more fun not to explain it!  Maybe I just like gathering groups of beardies and hugging them.  Hmmm, now there’s a thought!

Ok, so I was asked to be the Street Team for Dusty Rhodes and the River Band when they supported Dirty Pretty Things.  I must admit to not really having been aware of Dusty but having tried to get tickets for the DPT too late and being upset.  So I accepted happily.  Anyway I had a great night and spent most of the concert outside getting email addresses for the mailing list and talking to random passers by and the bouncers, then I moved to the merchandise stall and bothered the lovely young guy there (Hi Hughsy!  - if that’s how you spell it and if you ever happen to see this!).  The band came up and I got to chat to them and loads of folk who had really enjoyed their performance which was cool.  They were really lovely guys (and a girl but I didn’t get to speak to her much!) and obviously love what they do, which comes through in the music.  They very kindly gave me a free CD and some of them signed it.  Was a random but thoroughly enjoyable night, all in all!  I do love that feeling of being “with the band” as several people seemed to think I was *smug grin*.
