... I went to school with one of the blokes out of Ocean Colour Scene. 🙂 Anyone else find out anything interesting* today?

* It's all comparative, obviously.

Was it Simon Fowler? Used to bump in to him occasionally on Solihull High St in my lunch hour. After the first time he would always say hello. This was when they were at their commercial peak and some people would have been arrogant as hell.

Saw Oscar a couple of times in Snobs in Birmingham too.

Wasn't a big fan but it was nice to see a relatively local band do well.

I found out that I use the same forum as someone who used to go to the same school as one of the people from Ocean Colour Scene.

It's been quite an emotional roller coaster TBH.

I worked with the sister of an Ocean Colour Scene member. He got me various backstage passes which got me into the knickers of a girl named Vicky in a shoddy b&b in Blackpool. It was emotional.

Seemingly I saw Ocean Colour Scene play in Oxford before they got 'big'.

Luckily I have no memory of the event.

I met Damon the bass player a few years ago, we were booked to support them and he wanted to hear us (odd request, hey ho, I thought)

He was a colossal wa n k er and even before we had played I twigged that it wasn't going to end well, which it didn't

It wasn't - however, as far as I can make out from the internet, his brother married the sister of the person I went to school with. And I was actually in the same year as her, so she [i]might[/i] remember me, unlike her brother who most likely won't have a clue who I is. Prolly haven't seen her since we were 12 or something, but she was luuuurvely, a really nice person. Their mum and dad were sound, too. 🙂
