That was an awesome gig Richard! So sorry you were feeling so poor, my girlfriends were giving me a hard time to find out where you ate so we can avoid it ...

I'm a happy woman, got to see you at a large venue and now a small one and both were fantastic. Was struck again how great your whole band are at what you do. Have to say being close to the front was great. You all are lovely to watch play and those are some beautiful guitars. My friends had a great time too and pass their compliments on to all of you.

hey, I talked to that guy in Portland last summer and I think he wanted to ride to Seattle with us.

Not to blow smoke up your ass, but I think everybody here is proud of you, too. We were lucky to have you - and the place was packed to the gills. Next time in L.A. you'll play the lovely Wiltern and sell that out, too.

Thanks for a great performance. Everybody was ace, and The Ocean was fucking brilliant.

Glad you've enjoyed the tour, Richard. You deserve the success - safe journey home

we all loved playing last night,one of those gigs that makes it all worth while,it was such a buzz playing that gig the audience were as you americans say..awesome..........what a great reception it truly bowled us over thank you so very much,also i had a childhood dream come true which was to have Bob Lind in the audience.We met again after and it was lovely,i will be meeting him later to talk about plans for his new album which i am excited about.

All the promo got cancelled as my voice is fucked and i must admit to being more than tired,shame about the promo but a voice isn't like a broken guitar string once its gone thats it


.Thanks so so much to all the many Americans who have made this trip such a boss experience currently watching TV with the fire on
