Saint Honore Hotel under the ruse of an after fandango cocktail. Inside we were lead to a very cool private room to attend Ferry’s after party. To say the team were bowled over was one of the understatement of the decade. What’s more, W2 got to spend some quality time with Ferry. The breeze was shot over the NE and many issues. What a night !”

Some say it’s better not to meet your heroes less you be disappointed.
W2’s work brought him in to contact with many supposed ‘A’ listers. None were his heroes and most he prefers to forget.
Imagine the trepidation that night in Paris.
He needn’t have worried. Ferry turned out to be one of the most interesting, intelligent and charismatic individuals it has been his privilege to meet.
What a home run. A fabulous musician and a nice guy to boot - it doesn’t get any better than that. I raced back to my hotel to phone Mrs.Windswept. She was jealous. Particularly when I told her that the first thing Ferry said was “Is she here, I must meet her”.
