whilst i was sunning myself and drinking tequila in the afternoon at a back stage bar at glastonbury, i sat myself down to read the guardian newspaper and I noticed some labour minister for culture (or some such similer position) said that the faith brothers were one of his fav bands (though he called you a duo, which wasnt strickly speaking true)....i imagine you read it for yourself already, but thought id flag it up wiv ya just in case....
why dont you do one of the stages at glastonbury? it's a fu*king good festival...when the sun shines of course....

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Billy's forum is currently down due to a fire in the server warehouse in the US. Proboards are working to get this (and all their other forums) up and running again later today so please keep checking back there!

What an amazing night, I really enjoyed the gig! Naomi - loved your set too! xx

really enjoyed the gig..nice sound at the empire (thou a madly rushed soundcheck)- a very grand venue...i enjoyed your set too and chatting to the old school posse was fun (reminded me of the wheatsheaf/leather bottle days)...sorry i didnt get to say goodbuy (I did enter your dressing room in a thong not long after you came off stage but your fans were calling and you'd gone...)took us hours to get back as missed the last tube - was a great night thou...
cheers

BILLY!!!!! I was soooo bummed I did not get to see you or hear you sing live at Bare Bones this year. "Tribute This!" was AWESOME!!!! Loved the footage, the laughter, and your music. FUN CONCEPT!!!! It was so great to see Mick again, and I enjoyed meeting Gary and Mike. (There are some pics of them all up on my page in the Bare Bones folder.) Oklahoma USA misses you! Come back soon, ok?!!! Hugs!

Best wishes xx
