Ben is backstage at Newcastle arena for the first time, Ben and James have been front of stage a lot of times but never behind the scenes of the biggest venue in our city. Ben met Jon on tour as they supported the amazing Madness. They spoke a lot about touring and how support tours are different to a headline tour. They also spoke about getting the band started and how they came up with the band name and their own names. The Fratellis are a great live band, their catalogue is ideal for any live night out. But couple that with Madness, cracking night of music. Watch out for the Goonies reference, they didn’t speak about it for long but there’s a fact in there that Ben wasn’t aware of.
