Stuff I've had success with:

Metallica - You can get a pre print from the email on this site

Marillion - They've been great sent out two things one via a letter one through an email

Charlie Daniels - Sent an email got a very nice personalized autograph A4

Sonata Arctica - Not a UK group, the base is in Germany, I got two personalized postcards

Logan J - Sent an email got a lovely personalized A4 pic

Phil Collins - Wrote to him replied very quickly

Kylie - Wrote and got a post card back

Jack Osbourne - Emailed got a pre print

Defiantly go via agent/company not venue, via venue is not very reliable unless you can go down there yourself.

If you're collecting for charity, then you dont write via venue, write via their manager or agent etc.

If you write via venue and it doesnt get passed on, the charity details could end up in someone's hands who want to use it for personal gain only.

Hello! I am interested in writing to bands VV because i am collecting for a charity auction. So has anyone has any success with any bands or music artists at all? Any feedback would really be appreciated.

Thanks
