July 7, 2009, 15 years ago
UK-based rockers McQUEEN have checked in with the following message:
"Hey,
We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone over in Norway for making us feel so welcome and also for such an amazing time! It was great to meet and hang out with those we had the opportunity to meet - and to everyone else that we didn't - there's always a next time!
It was a lot of fun to play for you guys, what a great audience! Hopefully we'll be back in Norway again soon!
Thanks also to SLASH & FRIENDS for giving us the opportunity to play with you.
See you out there,
McQueen x
