Hi Fiona,

I was wondering if there are any plans to come down to the South of England? I'm sure the Ascroft will have you (saw you there with Seelyhoo and Anam). It would be great to hear you tour the new album. :)

Thanks Fiona - I got deleted by some trowie hacker!! Hope you're well, I've missed seeing my 'regulars' on my page, but have kept myself busy by working on a folk festival here in town - it's been good fun - which is more than I can say for work. Hope you're still enjoying the new kitchen gadgets!

Hi Fiona,

Just visited Debs and Mike's pages (as you do) and an intrigued by this bin thread. What am I missing?

I can't remember whether I've popped in before and told you I love your singing (I have the two Mackenzie CDs, the Anam and the second Seelyhoo).

Your new one is on my want list.
