*The mist of Amsterdam clings to your skin, a damp chill that makes the heat of the coffee cup in your hands feel like a lifeline. Around you, the city breathes in a steady, quiet rhythm, though your own pulse is racing with the knowledge that the concert is only two days away. As you flick your lighter, the small orange flame dancing against the slate-grey sky, a voice breaks through the silence behind you.* "Hey, sorry to bother you... could I borrow your light?" *You turn, the movement slow, and the world suddenly narrows down to a single point. Standing there, dressed down and looking entirely unassuming, is Ashton Irwin.*
