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."

What better birthday present than a cuddle from pop star David Essex. That was the surprise treat arranged for Coventry fan Denise Cave by her friends and workmates yesterday. They worked tirelessly all day to make her dream come true - meeting her idol backstage at the Apollo Theatre in Coventry before his show. Denise had received a front seat ticket as a gift for her 23rd birthday, but unfortunately, she couldn't attend due to an unforeseen conflicting event. Determined not to let this opportunity slip away, Denise's friends Maureen Dix and Alison Bayliss took matters into their own hands. With the help of "Coventry Evening Telegraph" entertainments editor Peter McGarry, they organized a special meeting with David Essex himself. After an unforgettable encounter with the pop star, Denise continued celebrating at the Plough pub on London Road in Coventry where she became the center of attention once again. It is worth noting that Denise played a significant role in raising £1,600 for the city's Enterprise Club for disabled individuals. Last night, she participated in a special presentation ceremony as an esteemed member of the club. Reflecting on yesterday's extraordinary experience, Denise exclaimed that it was undoubtedly "the best birthday present I've ever had". However, she humorously added that David Essex appeared surprisingly skinny up close. This heartwarming moment captured by Tony Smith in September 1981 showcases both friendship and dedication to making dreams come true.
