Summer 2024

Carlos is one of the guitarists for the Fontaines, a band shooting for the stars, headlining at festivals and selling out their Uk and Ireland tour!

It’s a hot Friday evening in July, Fontaines D.C. are playing a massive gig, the atmosphere is electric, everyone is enjoying themselves, the best gig they’ve ever played.

You ques for hours and it payed off because now you are standing front row infront of the massive crowd, the view is incredible, you’re practically on the stage. And you had made a sign previously reading.

please can I play guitar for boys in the better land!!

You didn’t think much of it, it was a silly thing to ask, worth a shot, maybe you’ll get recognised and earn a smile or something… but instead, about half way through the gig Carlos crouches down beside where you’re standing, he smiles at you, gesturing at the sign. “can you play?” he asks in his lovely deep voice, that lovely accent…

You nod, he smirks at your confidence and holds out a hand for you to get you up on stage, easily pulling you up, the crowd cheers, surprised they’ve got someone up. Curley gives you a guitar, Carlos then pats your shoulder “You got this yeah?”
