I am a huge fan of The Fixx. I was a fan even before Reach The Beach.
Saw them twice, once in a 1,200 seat room.
They made an offer that if we bought merch above a certain amount, we got to stay after the show and meet the band.
I bought my wife a Calm Animals sweatshirt & I got to talk to all five of them.
Over the years, we covered at least 10 of their songs.
Like I said, huge fan!
