More concert travels because I can.
I went to the UK last month and saw Anathema on their Satellites Over Europe tour, I went to six shows, and did meet and greet for the last three. I only have photos from the last two meet and greets, however as the first meet and greet was a sit down and hang out with the band thing, we did group photos at the end but my camera was not used for them.

Jamie Cavanagh! He and John Douglas were the only members of Anathema I hadn't yet met as the two of them did not come over the times I've seen the band in the states. He's the identical twin of Vincent Cavanagh, but I know how to tell them apart.
Next, we wandered over to Vincent who was more than pleased to greet us. He actually did recall me from the St. Pete show (see: above post)
The always lovely Lee Douglas!
Daniel Cardoso, still looking intense as usual. I get the "he looks mean!" a lot but he's actually very funny and nice. Maybe a bit more reserved but he's pretty approachable.
Danny Cavanagh! I got my Florida setlist signed by him and chatted to him a little about the tour they'd done earlier in the year. As always, he was lovely! He also remembered me. I met him prior to a show a couple days before this and he commented that I was familiar after asking where I was from.
With the whole band. Left to Right: John Douglas, Jamie Cavanagh, Daniel Cardoso, Lee Douglas, Vincent Cavanagh and Danny Cavanagh.
I missed out on a one on one John Douglas photo, but after the gig, most of the band were outside of the venue talking with fans.
With support band, Mother's Cake from Austria. These guys were great! A lot of fun, very funky music and though they struggled a bit with English, they were not afraid to converse with us and be absolutely silly. The fellow in the back (Benedikt) was particularly fun. I spoke with him pretty extensively at a couple other shows and he had me in stitches most of the time!
