Sub-Rock just caught a glimpse of your videos through it's periscope and tuned in to a local radio station to get the sound, it was like being at a drive-in! Not really but the videos were great! Thanks for posting them.

Hey!! Its been a long time, how are you?? Missed you back home this christmas... I just got home myself after a whirlwind 10 days around (I live in London now). I haven't been on this site in ages, and fancy that when I log in it says you are online! So I wanted to say hello and maybe snag a chance to catch up. Hope all is well. x ashley
hey Mat! I have some friends in NY right now that are awesome musicians and I think you ought to hook up with the two of them. One plays the bagpipes and the other the tablas. Their plan is to play on the streets to make some $ from what I heard. They're just passing through. The number I have for you doesn't work though. Are you still in NY? Can I put you in touch with them? What are your new digits?
How are you? I just got the T-shirts I ordered for the NYC Musical Saw Festival. I'm excited about the logo: What do you think? I hope you can join us at the festival on Saturday, July 18th, 2pm at Trinity Church, 31-18 37th street, Astoria (Queens).
Hi, Great to have you as a friend!! Best wishes, Mike (Brett Huckfield's promo team). PS Please check out Brett's debut release 'Here Again' (available on iTunes, Amazon, Napster etc.) Hope you enjoy the music!!
I would like to share some exciting news: after a long application process, the NYC Musical Saw Festival was approved by the Guinness Book of Records to attempt to break the current world record for the 'Largest Musical Saw Ensemble'. The current world record (set in Poland last year) is 27 musical saw players playing together. Could we set a new world record on July 18th? We need your help for it! Please join us and be part of a Guinness World Record breaking attempt at the 7th annual NYC Musical Saw Festival: When: Saturday, July 18th, 2pm Where: Trinity Church, 37th street corner of 31st Avenue, Astoria (Queens), NYC. Admission: $10 Info: www.MusicalSawFestival.org
For the Guinness World Record attempt all sawists will be playing 2 pieces together (in what we call the 'Chorus of the Saws'): Ave Maria/Schubert - accompanied by church organ Over the Rainbow - accompanied by piano The 'Chorus of the Saws' will be conducted by Scott Munson.
Hope to see you there, and please - pass the info on - we need to get as many musical saw players to participate as possible to set a new Guinness World Record!
