Many thanks for your kind comments!

Performing live is something that holds some sort of appeal for us, but whether it will ever happen... Well, maybe one day.

Keep up the good work, and please don't forget to tell your friends about us!

Thank you very much for adding us, and for your kind message!

You sound very professional and very British, which is right up our street. Too many people who aren't American sing with an US accent... Overall, your material is very impressive.

If you get the chance to comment on our page about any of our songs, we'd love to hear your opinions.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the add - I feel privileged to listen to "Victims". More so for the surprise element - I was expecting English Folk/Druid music before I saw you (should have called it Apple Dragon!) But it was the most rocking set of imaginative, vast rangeing pop music that one band could pack into an album. I hope you have a ball - you deserve it for spirit alone! At least you won't bore yourselves!

Good afternoon fellas, hope all is well.

Sorry I won't be able to make your gig in Pboro this week as I will be in Wales, but hope to catch you soon.

Have you got your CD done yet? Be sure to reserve one for me and I promise not to use it as a drinks mat!

See you soon

Sorry to have missed you at the Loft last week - I was playing next door! Caught some of your soundcheck though and it sounded good.

How's that CD coming along?

All the best,
Jacqui
