The drummer explained: “We only heard a couple of nights before that we were going to play. It all happened very fast. But it was great.”
We got to meet him afterwards and we had a five minute chat with him which was lovely. He’s a lovely man.”
Bass player Graham Knox added: “He was sound yeah. It was a very surreal thing the whole thing. It’s always nice to meet a president! He just talked about golf for five minutes. He was lovely and very generous with his time.”
