What better birthday present than a cuddle from pop star David Essex
What better birthday present than a cuddle from pop star David Essex. That was the surprise treat arranged for a Coventry fan by her friends and workmates yesterday. They worked frantically all day to arrange for Denise Cave to meet her idol back-stage at the Apollo Theatre, Coventry, before the pop stars show. She had been given a front seat ticket for the show as a present for her 23rd birthday but then could not go because it clashed with another important event arranged without her knowledge. So her friends Maureen Dix and Alison Bayliss decided to do something about it and the special meeting was fixed up by " Coventry Evening Telegraph" entertainments editor Peter McGarry. After meeting David, she went on to the Plough pub in London road, Coventry where she was again the centre of attention. Denise was a leading light in raising £ 1, 600 for the citys Enterprise Club for the disabled and last night took part in a special presentation to the club of which she is a member. And her verdict on yesterdays meeting: " Its the best birthday present I ve ever had, " she said. " But hes really skinny."
