I've now moved to the west end of Glasgow and can't even pop out to the local newsagent without tripping over a (very) minor celebrity. But it doesn't seem quite so exciting as the time in 1978, sitting on the train from Dunfermline to Edinburgh and Fay Fife said hello to me because I was carrying the Atlantic records 'This is Soul' album. She said it was cool that young punks were into Soul and that this was one of her favourite records. I was so thrilled she thought I was a 'young punk' that I didn't tell her it was my only soul album at the time.

The only other band I can think of (apart from a few dodgy 2nd generation punk bands) was "The Milltown brothers"

Erm ... I used to live just outside Dartford where Mick Jagger and Keith Richards came from. I think that counts.

I've just done a quick search to see if anything is going on there now, bringing me actual quotes like this one: "We are a heavy metal band out of Pueblo. We are planning on bringing real metal back, no more of this Limp Bizkit bull shit! We usually play the Pixie Inn and we've played the state fair." (I wish them more luck than industrial wankers Pope on a Rope had when I was young.)
