Looks as if I have to wait until next year before you make the journey "Up North" It will be worth the wait!!!! Good luck against the All Blacks this weekend - think we are both going to need some luck!!
Hey Tim, how's things? Getting excited about scotland tour... one more getting up and we're off wooohooo! Can't wait to catch up, i might even drool on your shoulder again! hahahaha! :)
Hi Tim, very well thank you. It was just Hope & Anchor being a little bit too chatty, otherwise it has been a pure pleasure, and I had a nice evening with some friend even in that chatty London pub. Definitely hope that we'll share the bill some other time!!! How was your show the day after Le Pub?
thanks a lot for the friendly comment and sorry for the delayed reply. The songs of Blind River Scare are really beautiful. Thanks for listening to mine, too. And the photos .... B.B. King ... yes, he was a lovely person to talk to ... he is a real sweet and gentle man. And I enjoyed reading his autobiography.
Hello Tim and band, thank you very much. Isn't this a small world now? Without the net and guys like Roy I might have never heard of you. When our paths may cross in the near future at a concert, expect me in front of the stage...I really like your songs. All best wishes from Hamburg. LB
Hey Tim, thanks for the add. thank you so much for saying you like my songs, it really means a lot and always puts a smile on my face :) Have a lovely day, Philly xx
