Hanging around - meeting the band

Has anyone managed to meet the band at any point during this tour?

I was wondering the same thing. Probably 'cos Nicky is poorly it looks like he's not been hanging around and chatting to people. Really hope he is better soon and that they can manage to see people after the gigs later in the tour.

If anyone sees them out and about pass on our love x

Don't think anyone has met Nicky so far (or Sean). I was very fortunate to catch James in Leicester, who was in a bit of a rush to leave. They haven't really hung around during the other dates.

I managed to meet James before the Leicester gig, but that was through chance! Made up for waiting, for what seemed like an eternity, outside Shepherds Bush Empire last September.

Only about 15/20 people waiting outside Leicester. They came out quite quickly.

Saw Nicky out in Manchester on Wednesday. I was a bit lost for words due to the surprise of it all, and ultimately thought it best not bother him as he did look under the weather. Thought about offering him a bottle of water or something, but then thought that'd have been a bit weird!

managed to get my setlist signed by James after Leicester but that's it.
not that I mind, actually, I'm usually too shy for this and I end up just staring at them in a very creepy way

They must have left quite quickly after Leeds, as the tour bus ended up behind us as we were driving out of the city centre and on to the M1.

Also ended up driving passed their tour bus parked at their hotel on the way into Leicester (completely by chance I hasten to add), so it's been more about the bus than the band so far Tbh we haven't hung around afterwards as we've always needed to get back/elsewhere and I've already done all that several times before anyway, so not really bothered these days.

Probably stocking up on cold cures and stuff for his throat. I'd have been tempted to run up and give him a hug, but I'm bed like that & far too touchy/feely!
