my only "star guitar touching incident" was when i went to see Juliette and the Licks in Dublin.  i was in the front row, and guitarist Todd Morse managed to clink me on the head with his Les Paul.  i also got Juliette's knee to the top of the head at one point, but she managed to hit me a few times at various shows :)

My story's not so impressive - I was at the front at several gigs where I can remember taking part in the holy "touch-the-guitar" ritual :lol:.

Still pretty impressive imo, I'd give my left leg to be up front at a Rory gig.


i also got Juliette's knee to the top of the head at one point, but she managed to hit me a few times at various shows :)

What were you trying to do to her?
It wasn't a mistake, it was chromaticism, I swear.

i saw them a few times, and actually ended up getting drunk with the band once! (although she wasn't there).  she has a habit of milling around the front then leaping into the crowd, and every time she did it when we were there, she seemed to do it right over my head, after the second time i considered bringing a hard hat :)
i did get to meet her, and she was lovely.

not much to do with Joe Bonamassa or Rory Gallagher though.  ah!  there is a statue of Rory quite near the venue where i saw them!  and i believe Bonamassa has played there too :)
