I've always found that as long as they have time to stop and chat, they will. James has always been the one who is most forthcoming and will actually try to talk to everyone. Nicky can be very hit and miss and I've yet to meet Sean. My take on it is that they'll make time to come out and speak to you if they can, providing you don't hound them or harrass them. Wait for your turn, speak to them normally (don't fawn over them, I think that would scare them ) and hopefully it'll be a great ending to a brilliant night.
But do remember that they can't always do a meet and greet, so accept that it might not happen. Good luck!

The most epic after-gig bothering was James' Tuck Shop at Wolves last year

They're really good with fans, like everyone else has said. After Wolves last year James hung around for a wee bit, but Nicky and Sean got on the bus, but Nicky did have a bad back. You should stay behind!

It all sounds good. Thanks everyone for your stories.
Is it busy at the exit afterwards or just a small group of people waiting? |

It varies, but there's usually a good 20-30 people at least.

Exactly. I just want to give any of them a nice firm handshake and say thanks. Having an album signed would be nice, but I'm going to shove it out into their faces.
I even quoted them in an A level exam. Numerous times. |

Stu's pretty much spot on. There will be lots of people at the London dates, and the chances are, as there'll be record company people there, they might not come out after the show; or if they do, not for long. Some of the small places like Lincoln or Southend would be a better bet.
They usually do come out, and are happy to meet people. Sometimes they don't want to or can't, so don't try and hound them in that situation. It's all common sense/courtesy really. No great mystery. Nah, Sean's the best when you get him one-on-one. We had a really good chat with him in New York. I agree with all the others. Also, don't call James "Jim".

There's not much to elaborate, I've "spoken" to him 4 times now and I've never heard anything he's said. Because most of what he's said has been "um. hi.", and to be fair to the man I've hardly done much better.
When he's not much of an interviewee elsewhere it's hard for me to know how to approach a conversation with him I guess. |
