This is a particularly vague "help me remember this person" thread

In June 2007 DH and I went to see Travis in Sherwood Pines. There was a famous person in the crowd, and I can't for the life of me remember who it was, although immediately recognisable then. Important enough to have a police guard with him.

He was involved in politics, although not an MP/Cabinet member etc I don't think.
Might have had something to do with the NI Peace Agreement, but was an English person.
Was 50ish. Black hair.
My mind is thinking his name might start with "G" or "D" then gets stuck on Greg Dyke. It wasn't Greg Dyke.

And that's it. It's annoying me because we thought it was quite cool that whoever it was, was at a gig in the forest. Look, I've had 2 babies since, it really doesn't matter, except it's going to keep me awake half the night.

I didn't have a smart phone or my current email address at the time.

Peter Hain was the Secretary of State for NI in 2007. He would have been in his 50s.

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads Gerry Adams and David Trimble seem to fit most criteria

David Andrews?
