this has just been passed down to me today,

my cousin once worked at a place were the searchers played. she met them and got a photo and autographs from the whole band.

this was back in 2003, she knew my mum was a fan and so asked the band to dedicate it to my mum helen,

my mum found the autograph and photo in a box about an hour ago and gave it to me,

the band seems to be the following:

* John McNally: Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
* Frank Allen: Bass, Lead Vocals
* Spencer James: Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals
* Eddie Roth: Drums

not the orignal band but they have been together since 1998 to present

i gues this bends the rules a bit, since its not an in-person siging from myself, but its stil in-person.
