Tell us about your most memorable Travis moment:
Mine has to be when they played All The Young Dudes on the Singles tour, way back in 2004. My favourite song ever, played by my favourite band ever. Brilliant!
Either that or meeting the band for the first time last March. That was pretty great too |

I think the greatest moment was when i saw them on thelast tour, when they played Turn as the last song before the encore.
The crowd was so into at that point, and Fran jumping off the riser and the intensity of the guitars and the screaming into the mic. I remember just being so in awe and so happy. You know that happy when you are smiling like an idiot when you dont even know you are smiling? That deep down pure happy? That was that concert, and specifically that song.
Also, during WDIAROM when Fran stopped signing and just put the mic out to the crowd bc we were singing so loudly was pretty crazy great too. |

Um, last year in Belfast when Dougie kept smiling at me! :)
Or else when they started The Humpty Dumpty Love Song, my favourite song of all time! |

The end of the last gig of the rehearsal tour in february, in Nottingham. They didn't play Turn in none of the five gigs but...
The last song of that mini-tour was Turn.
And I like to think that that song was for me. Even if it wasn't. But that's my song and... I don't know. I like to think that.

| Meeting them with my then 9-year old daughter. They all took the time to get down to her level and have a chat. She was a bit starstruck [as evidenced by her somewhat awkward appearance in the photos I took of her with each of them (which you can see on my profile page...fancy!)] but loved every moment of it. Oh, and Andy gave her a pick (she plays guitar) which pretty much solidified him as her all-time favorite rock star! |
