i met dave courtney about 5 years ago.
a mate of mine's younger brother was in a boy band and got to know courtney through the celebrity scene and got on well with him.
the youngest of the 3 brothers had been threatened with death by some loose cannon with a machete who wouldnt let it go.(he hung himself in prison a couple of years ago after murdering his 19 year old ex-girlfriend with a knife in his house).

dave came down with a mate,just to show his face.
we had a great evening-everyone knew him,he loved it. he has an aura about him,trust me. i wouldnt like to be on the wrong side of him! a real nice fella though and an experience meeting him.

word got round to the idiot lad and he stayed away.......
