Yesterday I was working as an extra on a TV show in Manchester and met this fella called Pete. It was a long day with a fair few hours sat around with the other extras in the Green Room. Pete kept us all amused with his daft jokes, some hilarious jokes and a fair amount of time reminiscing about old clubs and cheap curry houses in Manchester. He was also plugging (at least once every five minutes!) his book, The Man Who Turned Down The Beatles (click on the lick to buy the book).
So Pete, with thanks for making yesterday such a great laugh I've plugged your book and have decided, after all your arm twisting, to buy a copy myself which I expect you to sign next time we tread the cobbles together. And as I've done the book here's a plug for your band Pete Maclaine and The Clan too:
