My sister used to work for Radio 1 years ago (and sang backing vocals for U2 when they recorded one of the Radio 1 sessions).

She then moved to work as a label manager for Warner Bros (I think) and got me a gig playing bass on Top Of The Pops for Fairground Attraction (playing 'it ASDA be-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee perfect') when they needed a session bass player in a big hurry. Got down there and couldn't play 'cos I needed an equity card - there goes my 15 minutes

Another claim to fame is that I once threw Black Lace out of the rehearsal studio my band was rehearsing in - we were double booked but we got there first and of course they tried the "do you know who we are" routine...I ask you? Trying to pull rank just cos you've had a crappy Eurovision song...resulted in a bit of 'Agadoo that ya bastid' and 'push pineapple up yer a...'

Oh and my other sister is a freelance TV director and just about to start directing the new series of 'Two pints....'
