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

Hey Paul! Thanks for your request and for checking out my music. Loved the tracks on your end as well......you have a great voice....so sincere......welcome aboard, my friend! kj :)
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
Hi Paul Great to see you at Bromborough tonight, off to see Tori Amos tomorrow night...wey hey.....Your first two friends couldn;t be more different...i'm reading 'The God of Small Things' at the mo...... love Gilly x
