Rock and Bowl:a crap anecdote about The Wedding Present-
A couple of years ago I worked at the Hollywood Bowl, Kirkstall, Leeds and the guitarist out of The Wedding Present was a regularly visitor. I was never that much a fan really- I prefered the Bridewell Taxis.
The lead singer out of that comic 'anarchist' group Chumbawumba was a member of the bowling alley and used to be in every week, ten-pin bowling with his Dad!
The best laugh I had during my time their was when Leeds United thug Alan Smith came in. Never being a great fan of the Third Reich at Elland Road or the arrogant Mr. Smith, it gave me great delight when my brother, who worked behind the bar, wiped his cheesy bellend round the rim of 'Smithys' Coke glass before serving the little scally.
A number of staff followed Smith back to his bowling Lane and waited for him to drink. The silly bastard thought we were star-struck and even gave us a posing wink before downing the Coke!!!
How we laughed.
