DD went to Cream Dream ( I know !) Cafe in London today ( she had a fabulous cake ) and was sitting next to a celebrity - Male, 50 + ish,, in a houndstooth jacket, wide trousers and a pink beret. other people asked for a photo, and apparently he was really nice to them, so we know it was someone famous, but who ????

AIBU to ask you all to help work out who it might have been ? ( sorry shoe horned into AIBU as I was hoping for a quick answer !)

David Schwimmer?

Oh no! I’ve just googled the story and it seems KR set it up for a laugh. Damn! But good on him.

My favourite - and well known - Dexys story is when they played Jackie Wilson Said on Top of The Pops. The stagehands misunderstood and Dexys played the song against a backdrop of a giant picture of the darts player Jocky Wilson.

Was my first guess because I had a lovely smog with him in 1985.
A very lovely gentleman.
happy memories.

PyongyangKipperbang · 11/04/2024 02:14

Not RTWT but Rupert Everett?

But i agree that the guy from Dexys is the probably the best bet.

Geno was one of the first singles I ever bought. And I also saw Geno Washington perform at the Edinburgh Fringe quite by chance.
How cool to spot KR out and about.
He definitely marches to the beat of his own drum！

Freakin’ hell 70!

cariadlet · 11/04/2024 00:16

I was at Primary school when Gino and Come on Eileen were in the charts so a bit too young to appreciate how hot he was back in the day.

Looking good for 70 but I'm not convinced that anyone can pull off a pink beret (although Prince probably would have tried if it was many shades darker).

Call the cafe and ask them?!

Catch up! They’ve cracked it

FrogTheWarrior · 10/04/2024 23:39

Now I want to listen to Geno!

Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 10/04/2024 23:07

70 isn't old! As KR proves 😉

ItIsifISayItIs · 10/04/2024 23:03

K.R. is 70??? Hells Bells!! 😮
Seems like only yesterday I was dancing to ‘Come on Eileen’ at the local disco hotspot and going to college, learning to drive, fitting into size 8 jeans, and celebrating my 18th birthday…🎈
Happy days…

YOU GENIUSES ( Genii ??))

Kevin Rowland ....... for it was he. Both girls agree and say "too rah too rah too rah too rah eh "

thank you so much, we can all go to bed now. I told DH that mumsnet can solve everything

I used to work with his nephew who looks a lot like him but doesn't dress anywhere near as interestingly!

Good call but his would be red. Absolutely bloody lovely bloke though. Really, really nice. My favourite celebrity ever, because he loves his fabs as much as we love him!

I think he lives in Portugal now but was in Rome at the weekend.

He has kids with someone I was in sixth form with
