The Awkwards	Jan 6 2010 10:35 AM scotland's answer (that bit always makes me smile by the way), ta for blog comment and happy new year to u as well! k
Anna	Dec 29 2009 12:14 AM Yes of course...but as a piece of music it is still beautiful. Besides, can not there be beauty or maybe some form of dignity in sadness...? In the plaintive tale of a human being who's lost their faith? (If I'm "reading" the song right?)
Anna	Dec 28 2009 3:34 PM God Forgotten sounding great! ~ guessing that's Michelle can hear in the background too? beautiful playing... love the harmonies!
La Belle Dame sans Merci	Nov 29 2009 11:30 PM Have a merry St, Andrew's Day!!! (and know I will be celebrating here too, LOL)
Southern Remedy	Nov 22 2009 7:05 PM Hey :) You can now download "shining beat" for free @ www.indiestore.com/southernremedy
Kathleen	Nov 16 2009 1:12 AM Nice to have you as my friend hugs Kathleen
The Family Simpson	Nov 14 2009 2:39 PM http://www.listen.to/stramash - Show #19. Ariel played. It's ace, even for a premix!
The Family Simpson	Nov 14 2009 2:38 PM hey you - got a new t-shirt yet?
The Band From County Hell	Oct 21 2009 8:21 PM Hi, Great to meet you in Lincoln the other night,keep in touch. cheers Jock McLelland
Max Syed-Tollan	Oct 12 2009 3:05 PM yeah i think that might be a good idea, the mill of fleet you say? this is a very archaic system, the old " myspace" i forgot all about it.
Harry	Sep 29 2009 6:09 AM Hi Alan, couldnae get the song uploaded on Myspace for whatever reason - it's sitting on Soundclick tho, so you can download it from there, then upload it to here. Simples, huh?
Southern Remedy	Sep 25 2009 3:15 PM Hi, I have a new song "Shining beat" on the myspace Thanks
Harry	Sep 19 2009 9:05 AM Mr McLure It has been brought to my attention that you have yet to upload 2 new Geese tracks recently recorded at The Mill on the Fleet. This strikes me as a damnably idle approach to your bid for multi-national fame and fortune. Oh, and we get paid for CD - I'll drop you your cash when next we meet. Suzi's open micing at Dumfries this Wednesday - will we go and support or get on with recording? Support methinks, you never know when you'll need a favour back :0)
La Belle Dame sans Merci	Sep 13 2009 9:06 PM It's all Alalstair McDonald's fault, really. I listened to the "Massacre of Glencoe" in class when I was 15 and fell in love with it, then it came Rabbie Burns and I was completely enthralled. Times rolled on and my passion grew, so now I am, 38 yrs of age and planning about what part of Scotland I will visit next year (if my purse will allow me, that is).
The fighting 69th - dumfries band,	Sep 13 2009 8:34 AM aye! cheers for the message back pal, we did the 2 songs on our page in ca' va studio's in glasgow a wee while ago now but we've just recorded 6 new songs with grant henderson at The machine rooms studio in dumfries, we'll have some new tracks on our page soon so I'll drop you a line, your opinion would be valued and appreciated. all the best pal. andy.

McVicar Marketing	Sep 10 2009 8:53 PM Hey Geese Cheers for to the add. Hope all’s grand – see you out there! All best, Inga "We must hang together, or surely we shall hang separately." Benjamin Franklin The Online Print Company The Online Print Company
