THERE are not many acts who can tempt me to part with my hard-earned cash these days.
Partly it’s because I have been spoiled by the job I do, which has allowed me to see everyone from Tom Jones to Cliff Richard, Pavarotti to Duran Duran, and Simple Minds to Pet Shop Boys in the city I call home.
Anyway, the exception to the rule - there’s always one - is Lady Gaga. I always imagined she would be pretty down to Earth in an eccentric kind of way. To be honest, she is one of the very few acts I’d pay to see - even freebies couldn’t tempt me to go see the Madonna circus when it came to Murrayfield a couple of years back.
So you can imagine my delight two weeks ago, when, while walking through Times Square in New York, a production assistant from The Letterman Show invited me to attend the filming of an episode featuring... Lady Gaga. Better still, we all decamped from the studio to a nearby dance hall where the New York cabaret star treated us to an intimate mini-concert.
Surreal and completely unexpected, I think I may finally be star-struck.
