Dan Hawkins of The Darkness sent us a message
Ahead of our gig at the Mansfield Palace Theatre bar in September, Dan Hawkins, guitarist with The Darkness, took the time to send Little Trees a personal message of support. A rock legend reaching out to an independent band from Nottinghamshire before a show meant the absolute world to us.
You can watch Dan Hawkins' message to Little Trees on our YouTube channel. There is also a second clip of Dan Hawkins saying we rock, which we will be quoting for some time.
The band were absolutely overjoyed to see and hear the message from Dan Hawkins when he originally sent it through to us. Dan is such a nice guy and a rock legend, and for him to take the time out of his busy day to listen to our band and to reach out to us means the absolute world to us. Thank you so much Dan and I hope we cross paths again.
