| Comment | I used to have a shop in the west end and had loads of Glasgow celebs come in over the years including Frankie Boyle, Kelly McDonald, Gavin Mitchell (Boaby the Barman), Sanjeev Kholi (Naveed), Limmy, Kevin Bridges, Various Belle & Sebastian/Teenage Fanclub/Franz Ferdinand members, Paul Buchanan (Blue Nile) was always hanging about the lane outside my shop, and others that I’ve probably forgotten.
My favourite ‘celeb’ customer wasn’t a celeb herself, she was a vocal coach, but was buying gifts for Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams just before Game of Thrones came out. They were in LA and my shop was called La La Land, which is how the girls referred to LA. I remember she bought them rings with little cakes on them and I gave her badges with my shop name on them. I hadn’t even heard of GOT at that point, but on the bus on the way him that day, there was a huge billboard advertising the show on maryhill rd.
Not a Glasgow celeb, but Beyoncé took a photo just a few metres along from my shop in the lane and put it on Instagram. When I saw it a couple of days later, I was racking my brains if anyone that could have been her came into the shop, but I couldn’t remember. |
