[from tonight's London Evening Standard magazine] "Britney Spears' most recent wedding to dancer Kevin Federline ended with guests changing into tracksuits (the boys' had "pimps"  embroidered on the back) after eating spare ribs and downing cider. ..."
Spare ribs and cider. A classic combination, I think you'll agree (as long as they don't mean american "soft" cider!). Britney is now officially ahead of Christina in my chavbabe league. Honor the Britney. |

Superb! Chaos UK are a Bristol punk band, ive seen them support the wurzels before, they are big wurzels fans and used to be a Wurzels tribute band.
I'll look into this Federline bloke in more detail to see if he qualifies, but as he's a chav he was probably drinking white s**tening

David Bowie is another famous cider drinker, this comes from a description of an American press conference to promote his album, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars.
"Most of the mixed responses to Bowie were on show at a reception hosted by RCA before he boarded the RHMS Ellinis in New York. The label had promised the "ticker-tape party of the year". Yet the few journalists making their way to RCA's Studio C were offered only a glass of cider and a Ziggy Stardust poster (for which they were charged $5) before Bowie, resplendent in tight jeans rolled up to the knee with silver lame stockings and a paisley quilted jacket with lapels the size of wings, walked in with DeFries."
The song Five Years from the same album contains the immortal lines:
"A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,
And a queer threw up in a cider vat"
On a personal note, the first gig I ever attended was Bowie at the Colston Hall 1973 - a week before he "retired" at the Hammersmith Odeon.

OK Bowie definitely makes it then, we saw him at Glastonbury too, and he played at the second ever one so thats sort of cider-related. Was gutted when he pulled out of T-In-The-Park. Do you know if he's recovered yet? Is he gonna play live again?
Do you know if the real The Edge drinks cider? Im not sure if that bloke qualifies as being famous enough?

And the mighty Motorhead! They used to have a guitarist called Wurzel didn't they? This from:
http://www.motorhead.ru/int22wearemotorhead.htm
"So with Phil Campbell knocking back a refreshing bottle or three of cider and Lemmy enjoying a traditional mid-afternoon breakfast of Makers Mark bourbon and Coke, we settle down for a little chat in a plush suite in a swanky West End hotel…"
Also from:http://www.motorhead.ru/art1deaf.htm
"Lemmy whips out a baggy of powdered amphetamine, dabs a small pile on the end of a finger, puts it in his mouth, and washes it down with a swig of Woodpecker cider, before fixing himself a large Jack and Coke. Yes, he still lives the life, and makes no apologies for it."
Mind you, that lemmy's gone down in my estimation if he's a Woodpecker drinker!

What is it about thrash metal and cider? According to the original drummer in Napalm Death, they were all addicted to scrumpy, in fact, his love of scrumpy was the cause of him being thrown out of the band:http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/2453/earlynd.html

Does this help? http://www.ainslieonline.co.uk/features/u2.php
"Bono’s best friend, Gavin Friday said of this period:
“We hated football and sitting around drinking cider, so hung out together in Lipton Village, our gang. We all painted and fantasised, and plotted about becoming famous and changing the world."
Gavin Friday went on to sing in The Virgin Prunes.

You can't count David Bowie if that report is from an American press conference. In America, cider is concentrated apple juice and not the fantastic drink we all know and love.

I think we can also add The Simpsons - in the episode (the one with Mr Burns' son) that was on sky at 6pm last night they go to a cider mill and are walking around with big apples on their heads. Also Ned Flanders attempts to describe the difference between cider and apple juice!
Cider's coming home...
