 We greatly enjoyed your last 2 concerts in Felixstowe and the concert in Brighton last year when we made up 10% of the audience! We don't want to miss your concert at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon which we understand is planned for October. Has the date of this been fixed yet? Also, will you be performing at Felixstowe again this year?
 Look forward to hearing from you.

Loved the trumpet fanfare, amazing. Just disappointed I didn't hear Richie sing professionally only in the bar!
 Disappointed the RSM didn't let you do the whole show because it would have been so much better then the entertainment we had!
 Need to get married because you'll all be there, I loved it.
 Please let me know where else you play because i'd love to come and watch you all in full swing.

 Highland Cathedral
 
 There is a land far from this distant shore
 Where heather grows and Highland eagles soar
 There is a land that will live ever more
 Deep in my Heart, my Bonnie Scotland
 
 Though I serve so far away
 I still see her Dreams, cities and streams
 I can't wait until the day
 When I'll come home once more
 
 And so Lord keep me from the harm of war
 Through all it's dangers and the battles roar
 Keep me safe until I'm home once more
 Home to my ain in Bonnie Scotland
