15 Minutes Of Fame

15 Minutes Of Fame is The Yak‘s ‘nearly famous’ column. By which we mean instead of trying to get interviews with bona fide celebrities we asked our readers about the time they met that someone famous … and how it went. It’s not always pretty. This column includes people who have interacted with, among others, Sade, Mick Jagger, Prince Andrew, Bryan Ferry, Bob Marley … and the list goes on. It’s a heap of fun.
