Thanks for a wonderful time that you gave us at Quest. The drumming was fantastic, and so great to hear your music live too. Take care, Much Love Jane x
Hi Scott, Yes indeed - 'twas great to meet you and see you play live :-) We're back home now but we had a fantastic time on tour in Europe and Japan... let's keep in touch and we'll see you again next year!!! cheers, N&N
Hi Scott, Hope you are well after your visit to Buxton! The performance was thoroughly enjoyed and it was also lovely to meet you. Here are a couple of pics we took. Good luck with the Quest festival this weekend. We'll not be able to make it to Ilkley as I'm doing some filming for the BBC but hope to see again soon. Rich blessings, Niki X (UK Animal Healer) P.S Ignore the date on the pix, had to change the batteries and the camera went mad!:-)
Well fancy meeting YOU here!! Am looking forward to hearing 'Clearwater'. And meeting up and sharing tea and a few Mrs Crimbles, sometime! Lotsa love! xx
Hi Scott Thanks for your friends request. Of course I had to think long and hard before accepting it!! It'll be really good to catch up with you and Susan again at Quest, and then I gather you'll be coming to our back yard soon after, to the Priddy festival. Until then take care of yourselves, Ian
