He would be a great box office draw into the bargain, as well as a safe bet to sell the soundtrack."As well as discussing future projects, Justin and Guy - who became friends when Justin worked with Madonna on hit single '4 Minutes' - drank pints of lager, before performing a few songs as they strummed on a banjo and a guitar.An onlooker said: "Justin got there about 11.30pm. Guy had been there since 8pm and the night quickly got very merry. At one point they were in such high spirits, Guy picked up a banjo and handed Justin a guitar and they had a little singsong."
