This is, I hope, an interesting, if unconventional tale and all the better, because it is entirely true.
There's a guy from Germany who has a home in the very small village on the other side of the hill from me - about 5 miles away. His name is Uli Jon Roth and he was in the Scorpions band.
This is the guy :

There's a great story about him - a local elderly lady resident got talking to Uli in the village and asked what he did for a living (she
didn't know who he was !). He replied that he was a musician, and so the resident asked if he’d like to play in an event to raise money for the local church.
Uli very kindly replied that he would !
Now just take a second to reflect on that - in a tiny village in a remote part of Wales, an old lady inadvertently bumps into Uli Jon Roth, doesn’t recognise him, finds out that “he’s a musician”, and asks him to help raise funds for the church.
Of course, the 200 tickets for the event sold out quickly - which was actually held in the church itself. Local parishioners sat amongst fans of Uli that had travelled from all ends of the country to witness this unique event, and of course, to help with the upkeep of the historic church in Llansilin. Sadly, by the time that I heard about it, all the tickets had sold.

I think that this ^^^ is an amazing story and all credit to Uli, for getting involved with his local community and helping to raise money for the church. Media stars and musicians are often criticised, for being aloof and for ignoring the public - this can't be said, of Uli Roth.
