Hi Paul,

Really good to meet you at BromFolk last week! Loved your set - particularly the FBI song!!! :)

Thanks so much for your comments about our set, they were very encouraging. :)

Thanks a lot for the CD - we both really like it! Your songs have a real honesty about them - I like Daddy's Girl a lot - it's very moving.

Thanks again and hope to meet up with you again at some point.

Cheers,

Paul (Lightwood)

Hope the sun is shining on you over there. I played the Philly in Liverpool last month and it rained the whole time. I wanted to let you know that i'm coming back on tour with Kevin Montgomery in June. We play a series of dates in England and Scotland. I believe the nearest show to you is in a place called Mitton. I hope you can make a show. Sincerely, Tommy Allsup

Hello Paul,
Sorry to be so slow in getting back - I'm still laughing at the thought of AM doing church halls! I'm actually in March which is about 20 miles from Peterborough in the Fens. Nice and quiet, no commuters, minimal suburbia. I'm playing on the Wirral in July '08 at the Manor club in Withens Lane, Wallasey. Try and get there it would be good to meet.
Cheers
Phil

Hello Paul,
Good stuff also! Apart from sharing a name with an ex-Leeds footballer, where on the Wirral do you hail from? That was where I started out - when Andy McClusky was putting weird bands together in the church halls of Hoylake back in the late 70's - I live there until 1998. Anyway, keep in touch mate.
Cheers
Phil
