Oh, wait...I have got one...
Willy Mason.
I know he's relatively new anyway, but last October, he played first on the bill for 22-20s. I called the record company to blag it, but they were pretty dismissive, assuming I was doing the 'get in to see the main band using the support as an excuse' thing, but after much ranting, got my ticket and an interview. He turned up two hours later than he was supposed to (the doors had already opened), soundchecked for half a song with a badly tuned guitar which the other band tuned for him in his absence, gave me a beer, played, then did the interview..he was one of the loveliest people ever, also played an acoustic set out on Brighton Beach for all the people who'd missed his set...
A few months later, he's being namedropped by everyone from the guardian to NME to every psuedo scenester, and his gigs have all sold out...
So I can feel smug about that, until I realise that this means I may not be able to go and see him.
Damn.
