Rainbow tops off perfect Sherlocks day
It was a perfect day for The Sherlocks and England.
There was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for fans of both The Sherlocks and the England football team.
A rainbow illuminated the sky over the England fan zone at Sheffield Steelyard on Saturday, the venue hosting the Bolton upon Dearne band while also screening the nation's World Cup match.
Among the hundreds dancing in the sun was former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Mark Crossley, (57) who described the show as "brilliant."
The group, consisting of brothers, Kiaran and Brandon Crook along with Alex Procter and Trent Jackson, told their fans: "What a gig that was! You absolute legends, we loved every second of it. Big love to every single person who came down."
The Sherlocks said the rainbow image, taken by music lover Rich Bannister, was "a beautiful photo."
Rich told the Advertiser: "The whole day was just brilliant, all seven bands were clearly having the best time too.
"I really liked The Denabys and Tom A Smith, I'd never seen them before and they were brilliant" said Rich, from Louth, Lincolnshire.
"The photo was taken from upstairs at the Steelyard just after the Sherlocks had come on stage, I think about third or fourth song in.
"It was just a short shower only for a few moments and I then spotted the rainbow.
"I do like photography but I'm by no means a photographer. This picture was taken on my iPhone!"
Other music fans were gushing with praise for the event, which ended with England confirming their qualification for the last 32.
Sam Roberts said: "It was an unreal gig the lads just get better and better each time I see 'em, roll on next year for LFTM (Live for the Moment; the title of their 2017 debut album) 10 Year Anniversary Special, whether it’s a tour or another one off special show in Sheffield again, who knows we shall see."
Meanwhile, The Sherlocks have been invited to perform in Millennium Square, Leeds on Saturday, July 11, on a bill featuring The Cribs, The Lottery Winners and Ella McNamara.
