Hey Neil, how's it going? We've just put a new limited-time-only song up on our myspace called "Running Down The Line", so get in quick & have a listen - we'd love to hear what you think. Take care & keep in touch, Cheers, The Havelocks
Hope all your touring is going well. You should come to Toowoomba when you're up around Maleny and Brisbane country. We have a pergola and a BBQ, and a beer fridge. You're always welcome my fellow Australian - great music and great people are welcome forever. Unfortunately we'll be away when you're around the southeast corner, but come back soon please.
Cheers for the message Neil. My voice has been called a few things in its time, but I can comfortably work with "well travelled". In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on your itinery for WA dates.Look forward to seeing you in these parts soon. Travel safe. Chris Edmondson.
G'Day Neil! Great gig at the Longyard in Tamworth the other night. Actually, it was quite exceptional. Shame about the smallish crowd, but we all appreciated it. All the best for the new year (p.s. I'm looking forward to the new album).
Hey Neil, saw an add for a writers festival in Melbourne in paper this morning - you were listed as veteran songwriter. I laughed for minutes.I see you are playing the bowling club soon. I might rock up. Been writing a book - fucked my back - which is what happened last time i wrote a book and why i gave up the idea of writing till poverty forced me to do this last effort. Hope all is well, you veteran you! best wishes, Stephen
