John Barry, at a signing in HMV London in 1998. He was signing The Beyondness of Things, and he signed my programme, the BoT CD cover and also the CD cover of The Knack.

The latter was for Mrs TG, and I asked him to sign it to Becca (short, of course, for Rebecca). Initially he misheard and signed it “To Decca”, as if I was married to the record company…. We had a good laugh about it, and fortunately it was easy to change the D to a B. Lovely fella, Yorkshireman, of course 🙂

I also met and chatted to several others including David Arnold and Christopher Gunning at a charity screening of Psycho arranged by Arnold and Dave Norris, who was then the projection manager at The Empire, Leicester Square. All very good eggs.

And I also met your pal in London that time, whose name escapes me because I’m on holiday and have had a bit to drink. Eirik Myhr, it’s come back to me now.
