00:00Someone sent their pubic hair.

00:17No, I don't remember that.

00:19Amazing.

00:20Photographs of her with her hamsters and then clicking.

00:27Oh, that was a long time ago.

00:35There are some unhinged people out there who, and in those days it wasn't, you know, now they would just go online and say something.

00:43But in those days they would write and they would send photographs of themselves and up to all sorts.

00:57It was really mostly positive, to be honest with you, it was mostly positive.

01:01There was a kind of hue.

01:02There was one particular time when someone was kind of getting a little bit too close to...

01:07Stalking.

01:08Stalking, you know.

01:09But listen, we got pretty easy.

01:11You know, that was one person out of thousands.

01:14And the amazing thing is we have made friends with some of these fans along the way who have been coming for years.

01:21And we're now, you know, we see them every tune.

01:27One of my best friends actually I saw for dinner recently was a guy called Jimmy.

01:33I should mention Jimmy Rice.

01:34He's a great friend.

01:36And he bought tickets for all his pals to come and see us supporting Benny King in Manchester.

01:42We were supporting Benny King.

01:44Seven.

01:45Seven.

01:46And then he and his friends would start coming like tiny gigs.

01:50There was no one there.

01:51There was like maybe 20 people there, kind of Huddersfield Polytechnic or something like that.

01:56And he and his pals would come.

01:57And they were the ones that all started singing back like loaded.

02:00Loaded was the first.

02:01It wasn't Dignity.

02:02I think it was Loaded.

02:03And, you know, we just became friends.

02:05We just became really good friends.

02:07So we're grateful for that.

02:09And we've got friends across the world as well that we've met, which has been lovely.
