They say never meet your childhood heroes for fear of them not making your day.
I'm a HUGE fan of A-ha. Been to many gigs. Well, around the time they released their Analogue album, I won a competition to a secret gig and was given 2 tickets. I went on the A-ha forum and offered one of them to the first fan to message me.
The day of the gig, there was 98 other fans (it was a small gig in Cargo, Shoreditch) and they all bought A-ha stuff to be autographed. I was the only one who didn't because I didn't expect to meet them.
The girl I gave ticket to was a diehard fan, met the band loads of times.
After the gig, the band went outside and signed stuff for the fans. The girl I was with asked me did I bring anything. I said no, I never met the band and didn't expect too. Then, all of a sudden Morten Harket and Magne was signing my notebook (I always had a small notebook and pen in my bag). They were just so wonderfully wonderful with the fans. It truly made my day, especially when another fan took photos and there was one of me with Morten, which she put on forum.
Made me love A-ha even more. And I've never heard a bad word from any fan about meeting A-ha.
(I'd be gutted if there was any bad tea about them)
