Bands being accessible to fans (shout out to The Sherlocks)

[Steve_nottm]

Took my 15 year old daughter to a gig at rock city Nottingham last weekend.  She suffers from Cystic Fibrosis so as a treat id arranges with their manager for her to go to soundcheck and meet the band.

 

they were great.  Friendly and chatty with her.  She’s made each of them a bracelet and they wore them for the actual gig.  Then after they were meeting fans, signing stuff, and recognised and said hi to my daughter.

 

I find it rare that bands are that accessible to fans.  It really made her day.

I think that’s great, it might not seem like much to the bands but things like this have a real impact on fans, well done to them (and all bands who do similar).

I made myself accessible but nobody wanted to talk to me. 😮‍💨

I remember them as a nice bunch of lads. They used to frequent a local jamnight I went to years back every Friday when they were learning their trade.

Depends what kind of music you’re into. This has always been a thing in the punk scene. It’s very common to be able to meet and hang out with bands at merch, by the van, or just in the venue. Even bigger bands (although maybe not the arena or stadium bands) will still tend to do this.
