only I was there earlier today and wondered whether the MSP buy guitars from there...that would be a scary coincidence!

On the day of the Colston Hall gig in June 2007, my mum phoned me to say that she was pretty sure she'd seen them in Bristol (College Green perhaps?) and being a localish venue I could have been hanging around trying to find them myself.
I walked past Grant Nicholas in Bristol, down Park Street, last Monday - nobody else seemed to notice him, but I was with a friend who moved to America 4 years ago who I'd not seen since then and who didn't have a clue who he was so a conversation didn't seem right. I thought it was best to leave him alone despite him seeming like one of the nicest guys in music, though I probably would have asked how the new album's going (my favourite band member ice breaker) and to thank him for the two gigs in Bristol this year.

i usually bother nicky more than james as he always seems to be just wandering at his own pace. he always seems so relaxed and just potters about in a bit of a daze. james on the other hand storms in,grabs items in a frenzy and gets out. very polite and always pretends to be interested when i babble at him. the only section james seems to spend any time browsing is 'world cinema' only seen sean twice and he wouldn't really make eye contact. cant say i've ever stalked em outside of where i work tho so im really not 'that' crazy!! a mate of mine used to work in gamlins about 5 years ago tho and he told me james and nicky go in quite a bit. cranes too,by accounts they shut off part of the shop one day when nicky decided to try out some gear. dunno how much truth is in that tho as i cant imagine nicky talking to guitar shop type people. i hope i dont sound too smug with this kinda post but it is amazing to see members of your favourite band around town,off duty if you like,on a regular basis. im not from cardiff but moved here about 7 years ago and the first time saw one of them in the street i nearly fell over.then having to scan items that they had selected themselves and actually TAKE THEIR CASH AND GIVE THEM CHANGE,whilst shaking,is something i cant explain. the whole thing seems extra special to me as i was an obsessive fan for years before i moved here and had never met them so to look up from a till and have nicky say 'hello' TO ME was something i never expected to happen. everytime i see one of them the amount of excitement and nerves reminds me of how much i love the band/music and why i visit this forum

Will have to ask my work colleague who met them whilst working in Boots, Cardiff whether James was dashing around grabbing stuff of the shelves, politely stopped to sign a picture, then dashed back off again!

I don't know why I completely forgot, but I saw Sean in Virgin Megastore at The Cribbs Mall in Bristol whilst I was wearing my GT rose t-shirt which he spotted and probably thought "oh no!" I think he was looking at DVDs, bought some stuff, but I thought best to leave him to it or a crowd might develop. Might have been in the summer of 2004.
Then I saw him later walking off towards John Lewis or the exit. I was working at a game developer called Pivotal Games in Bath until we got closed down in August last year, and apparently one of the guys who regularly emailed out for a lift down the ringroad after work had a kid who played with Sean's in a park in Bristol, but I don't know if that's entirely true, though I doubt you'd make something like that up. I wish I'd offered him a lift now.
