What would your backstage rider be?

Rachel

19, student

My dressing room would be decorated with Liverpool FC paraphernalia and I would also have a lava-lamp. Food-wise, M&Ms and lots of peanut butter, that's the biggie. Some light Ocean Spray cranberry-raspberry juice and cheese twisters. Finally, I'd need lots and lots of CDs to listen to for entertainment and relaxation.

Craig

37, screen writer

I would like lots of cocaine, something to smoke and lots of gorgeous boys! I also want a personal servant, who would deliver light foods such as fruit and vegetables on demand. Also, I'd want everything in the room to be white and there should be a balcony with a beautiful view. That's all, I think.

I would have Stella McCartney backstage showing me her latest collection, so that I could wear everything I dream of and not have to return the clothes. For drinks, there would be only the best champagne. The whole room should be decorated in a sort of pale peach, because it is very flattering to the complexion.

Chris

40, engineer

I would invite all my girlfriends for a huge aftershow party with a DJ. There should be lots of sofas and big cushions, so that we can chill out a bit. Besides that, other important things would be an order of lots of tasty Indian food, two cases of brandy as well as champagne. And last but not least: 100 balls of crystal.
