Early into CHVRCHES live set at Pukkelpop Festival in Hasselt, Belgium this past Friday the band were the victims of some technical difficulties which unfortunately ended their day early. Absolutely gutted they saved the day in a heartwarming way. While most musicians would pack it in and call it day, a visibly shaken Lauren Mayberry performed an abbreviated yet stirring a cappella rendition of their hit song “The Mother We Share” with the help of a supportive crowd. This took an enormous amount of courage and sure everyone including band mates Iain Cook and Martin Doherty were singing right along with Mayberry.
Although saddened by the short set many fans took to social media to express their gratitude and support for the band. One fan traveling all the way from Barcelona to meet with friends to see CHVRCHES even got the ultimate surprise, an impromptu meet and greet with the band made possible by their amazing tour manager Cara McDaniel.
