Fan Who Landed Surprise Cameo In 'Lemmy' Movie To Meet His Idol

November 11, 2010

According to BBC News, a student who landed a surprise role in a film about MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy will get to meet his idol this weekend.

Tom Holmes, a former pupil at Ysgol Syr Thomas Jones, Amlwch, owes his backstage pass to the American makers of the film "Lemmy", who turned up at his — and Lemmy's — old school one day last year.

Producers Wes Orshoski and Greg Oliver visited the school on the off chance of grabbing some footage of modern-day students.

"Not only did we get those shots, but we were incredibly blessed that the headmaster let us interview a few students about what they had heard about Lemmy growing up there," said Wes.

"Then one student, Tom, sat down and started playing Lemmy's most famous song, 'Ace of Spades', on a school piano, as his classmates sang along.

"It made for one of our favorite moments in the film, and Tom has become a friend."
