Met Jesse Jackson when I worked for the Labour Party, I think around 2010. I think he was quite shocked how threadbare the organisation was at the time. He told us we would win the election. He was wrong.

I met him in Dallas in 1995 - I had a wacky uncle who was a Ross Perot acolyte and we went to Perot’s convention which was attended by politicians of all stripes, all trying to get to Perot’s voters. As a 13-year old kid I was starstruck, he oozed charisma.

Yeah he definitely had it. Edit/ a former colleague reminds me I met him again in 2015 and he told us the same duff prediction

seeing rumblings around that dj dan (dan wherrett) has passed.
he was a pretty big deal around here - and did really well for himself in the states. he was also a super nice guy, while i didn’t really care for his style, he was always great to talk to, and had the type of energy you sort of envy.

I met him at a break dancing convention when I was 10 or 11 and had his autograph on a kit kat wrapper : ) though yeah those rumours were no good.

“Have a break, have a kit kat”
So that’s where the slogan came from.

I met him a few times early UK hip hop. He was just a legend back then. Was a blow when the stories surfaced.

Moyà Brennan from Clannad. I saw her at a tiny festival about 15 years ago, a voice so beautiful she made me cry.
