Thanks, guys, for a really excellent set on Friday. You were the business and made some new friends. Thanks in particular for Goin' Down Slow - it meant a lot and Al would have loved it. All the best for now, Kev
Me and Mark would really like to thank you for coming down playing at Sawyers Acoustic Fest last weekend. Keep up the top work, stay in touch and chat soon :o)
There is something so inherently wonderful about the guitar/harmonica blues duo - from Sonny & Brownie through to Cephas & Wiggins. It's great stuff and you both do it so fine.
Thanks again for a superb set last night, guys. What a great evening. We'll do it all over again sometime in 2008 if you're up for it. All the best, and happy Crimble! Kev!
Thank you for that, I was just talking about you two today and letting my parents listen to your Demo CD, they loved it too. I will make one of the nights for sure and bring the parents. But knowing me I'll probably have to do both evenings. Your an awesome duo and you really get your instruments to talk to you x
You guys were awesome last night, I loved every single tiny second of your music. I'll be putting out only good words about you two. Thank you for the Entertainment. I'll be back to see you again, you can count on it. Can't beat going back to roots x
Burning Bodies Burning hearts In scents of the day Two crows and the jet of night upon their wings Look how skulls abandon themselves on the shore of your sea How eyes remain fresh like the skin of a ripe apple and our hands glisten with gold,
