Excellent show from West of Eden beside Storan on Wednesday! Didn't catch the beginning unfortunately but c'est la vie...
Hi there! Thank you very much for the friendship. I really love your music. As a devoted fan of 70's folk and progressive music I find your music absolutely awesome. Beautiful songs and Jenny's voice is stunning! So Irish or Celtic!
I found your band only tonight. I saw in tv a touching and beautiful document of Martin and his sister Martina. As well as the document itself also the accompanying music stole my heart.
You have got a new fan in me and my wife. Hopefully we'll be able to see you some day alive.
All the best from Finland!
Greets,
Harri
