‘I was in a pub and a local band I had never heard of were playing. The singer came over to me afterwards talking to me as if he knew me and calling me Maria. Not my name and I’d never seen him before. He then kept questioning me, clearly believing I was this Maria. Couldn’t convince him otherwise. Eventually he stormed off angrily shaking his head saying I was acting weird.’
