Thank you so much guys for a fantastic gig & especially for singing 'Happy Birthday to Travis' on his 6th birthday.
Our Travis has loved the band since he found out why he was named Travis in the first place. We were going to take him to the 'Wolverhampton' gig (near to where we live) and then noticed that there was a gig in Shrewsbury on Travis's 6th birthday.
We (Travis, his brother, mum & dad) enjoyed a great set which included the song that our Travis loves most "Why does it always rain on me?" which couldn't be more fitting. Obviously the highlight for us was the band wishing him well and singing the song 'Happy Birthday to Travis' (with fantastic accompaniment by the crowd).

Thank you so much for such a fantastic gesture. Our Travis even went home with Fran's plectrum!

| Aaaah what a lovely experience for him! Unfortunately a lot of venues won't allow young children in anyway so the outdoor festival was probably a better idea. Glad you all had such a fabulous time. |

Just seen it on Flowers in the wind @ Shrewsbury - Youtube .... fantastic!
... thanks again to Fran, Claus, Andy, Neil and Dougie (special thanks to Dougie for actually spotting our Travis, pointing him out & throwing the pick our way!)
...oh and also thanks to the many lovely people at the front who helped make sure that our kids could see & weren't squashed.

This is so sweet! Thanks for sharing the video. While I was watching, I was picturing what little Travis' face looked like when his favorite band (and a festival full of people) were singing to him. :) Travis are such sweet guys. |

| He was so tired at the time they sang it, he just looked dazed (it was very hot at the front too!) ...but later as we walked back to the car, it started to sink in. Today watching the video, he was GOBSMACKED! |
