Sadly not My parents went to the Belfast date and came back saying "That is the best concert I've ever seen, they are all such great showmen" I wish I'd been able to go because the chances of them doing Belfast again are slim so I'll probably have to fly to England to see them if they don't do Ireland. Did you get to see any of them?

Nope, me neither! I didn't become a fan until a few months after they'd been and gone.

But I'm kind of nervously optimistic about them coming back. If they do England I'm sure they'll come back here -- they have a good fanbase and apparently the bands like doing gigs here because the crowds and welcome are good.
Let's hope!

That's true, it's because very few big bands came over here for so long and now when they do people are so glad to see them they get an awesome reception! I hope you're right and they do come back

by the way: Welcome to the Ledge!
Euh... no. They mentioned another Duane Allman/Allman Brothers Band fan at 'Kroese' but I suppose you visit them in N'gen.

Twice a day I travel through Nijmegen (to Oss).

Shackin' up is all you gotta do!

well I am 16. I got into Fleetwood Mac because I've grown up listening to them and I got tired of not having any new decent music. Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks have such an extensive back catalogue so there is something for every mood. Plus, Stevie Nicks is the rock queen!!

This is a cool thread. Ok I want to rant right now about how I became a Mac fan so beware.....

First of all I am 19 and have heard FM throughout my life never really knowing who they were. My first experience with their music was "Don't Stop." My mom used to take me to Chuck E Cheese when I was about 6-8 a lot and they would play Chuck E's version of Don't Stop whenever I was there lol. Talk about overkill!

So then at the age of 11 the television was left on VH1 and they were playing "The Dance". I wasn't paying attention until I saw Stevie singing Sliver Springs. It was weird because at the time I was into the spice girls (yeah I know) and all that other 1997 poppy crap. But it was something about Stevie that I adored right away and I still never even knew who she was or the name of the song until years later.

By the time I was 13 I had finally found out that FM sang "Don't Stop" because my uncle (he has been a fan since the 70's) was playing them one day. At the time I thought the song was corny so I brushed FM aside after my Uncle tried to get me to listen to their stuff. About a year later I was listening to the radio and stumbled up on a song that sounded familiar. I started listening to the words and recognized the part in Sliver Springs that went "And don't say that she's pretty, and did you say that she loved you." When the song was over they said the song was called Sliver Springs by FM and I could not believe it was by them. So I downloaded the song and then decided to check out some of their other songs. But it wasn't until I was about 16 or 17 that I really got into their music when I bought "The Very Best Of" because I loved "Dreams" "Rhiannon" "Gypsy" and "The Chain". Soon after I started to really like Chris and Lindsey's songs on the CD. I still consider myself a newbie fan since I am learning more about the members of the band and their music. Ok I'm done with my rant!

Oh Wow Dreamz19 thats a cool into to mac. As Stevie once said "Silver Springs is a great old song". My first intro to the mac was when I was really young and even still in the womb lol. My Dad has always loved 'Rumours'. I've always loved that album. Infact the first song i used to sing along to was 'Dreams'. My parents got divorced when I was 7 so i had NO FLEETWOOD MAC ALBUMS!!! In 1997, I went with my Dad and his then current girlfriend to see Fleetwood Mac on the dance tour - I was hooked. Then, a few months later when we were having our attic converted into a bedroom I found a load of old vinyl's and tapes. 'Rumours' and 'Mirage' were among the tapes and 'Other Side of the Mirror' was among the LP's. That was it basically. I have been a fan ever since and slowley built up the entire mac/Stevie studio album collection plus the "Mirage live" video, "Tango in the Night" video, "White Wing Dove - Stevie Nicks Live" video and of course, The Dance DVD. The last Fleetwood Mac album I bought was Time. I didn't even know it existed until my Uncle mentioned it. I had Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, Mirage and Tango on tape and then updated them all onto CD (in the case of Rumours and Tusk, 2 disc digitally remastered cd) and Behind the Mask was the only album I ever bought on CD first. Well thats my Mac story...
