Oswestry-born singer and guitarist Ian Hunter shot to fame in the early 1970s with his band Mott the Hoople, best known for the iconic song All the Young Dudes.
Since the band split in 1974, Ian has continued a successful solo career, releasing hits such as Once Bitten Twice Shy, and working with rock royalty from David Bowie to Ringo Starr and Queen.

Pete Postlethwaite is well placed as 1st in the Shropshire celeb list.
This is a man that at the start of his hugely demanding solo stageplay Scaramouche Jones amazingly found time to assist in a project to discourage people from buying stolen property because most that do directly fund drug abuse.
He flatly refused to take a penny piece for his time and his parting words to me as he left from a days filming for the project were ‘lets just hope in our hearts that we can bring an end to this awful problem. If a bargain is too good to be true then that’s probably exactly what it is.’ A great man, a great dad & a great big heart.

Star – just because she is showing much of her chest from above does not make her hot. You must be about 13.

Ian Hunter, aside from Mott the Hoople fame sang a sad song about unrequited love entitled “Irene Wilde” in which he recalls the old (and much missed) Barker Street bus station.
Not a lot of people know what!
