A free homecoming gig didn’t quite go to plan for Travis on Saturday (December 11).
The band played outside Glasgow’s Virgin Megastore as a thank you to their local fans. However, not everyone appreciated the gesture as #10,000 worth of equipment was stolen from the back of the band’s van.
Among the missing items were two prized guitars belonging to lead singer Fran Healey.

Fortunately, Fran’s favourite guitar was recovered the next day when an eagle-eyed fan spotted the carvings ‘Fran 1’ on an instrument in a pawn shop.
“I’m over the moon that I got my guitar back,” Fran said later. “I’d like the other one back too please.”
