I'd probably drive from Rigby, Idaho to Seattle, Washington just to hear you play, but I'm 16.... and I don't have a car... or the education to drive one lol. You should come to like Pocatello or IF or something, me and all my friends would love you forever if you did. xD
Hi Laura, Great show at the Glee Club... delightful and delicate as ever. Tina and I really enjoyed it... thanks to all of you. Have a great time in the States and come back to B'ham soon. x
Hi guys - just wanted to say that last night at the Glee Club was brilliant. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to a new album in the future *hint, hint*!
I love your music and think it is awesome. Saw you supporting Wild Beasts . . . I got your CD from Play.com but was disappointed that Moments Before Sleep wasn't on it when it's your best song! =(
Yo Blue Roses, Whenever I listen to your music. I feel like singing too. But your talent is unmatched. How much time you spend to rehearse per day Blue Roses? Love ya. Jane PS:Follow Me Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent
Hey, just a quick note say that you were fantastic tonight/last night. I missed most of your set when we played together, but I'm really glad I got to see you guys properly. Good luck in America!
