We saw him at the Town Hall in Reading a few years back. Before the interval he was getting heckled by a group of idiots who had clearly been 'on it' all day. Handled it brilliantly. And then right after the break he watched on in amazement/disbelief as several uniformed Police walked up to the front to arrest the hecklers.
His reaction was hilarious. 'F### me, it's the 5-0!' 'Please believe me, this has never happened at any of my other gigs.' etc. etc. At first everyone thought it was staged, and it just got funnier as the penny dropped around the room that it was for real.
That is a superb story Ardiles. I was there that night too but had forgotten all about it until now! Most bizarre but he handled it well.
Went to see the current tour a couple of month ago in Hammersmith. It was very good. Supported by Romesh Ranganathan who I also like so hope someone snaps Audrey's/Chang's tickets up...
