What a Talented man!!! and his "backing group" were outstanding!! especial praise to Vicki for the Flute and small pipes parts, but Jonnys "Upside down" guitar and playing was wonderful also. The support singers were superb, Moses voice just gets better and better every time I hear her and their harmony singing was !!!.Les Sullivan was his usual excellent ,thought provoking, self (and I finally got my copy of the second CD "Echos of Lowlands") Moorley man was excellent also in a very interesting set. But then George came on and his set was a spectrum of feelings expressed in the most wonderful and subtle use of words that seemed to touch places in ones soul in a way not previously felt or understood. I thank and applaud you for a superb "launch concert"
It was even worth the journey home and speaking of the journey home, my thanks to Kitty and Derek for the lift to the station, it made the difference between getting home and being stuck in Central London waiting for a night bus, Many thanks, Micca

Many thanks George for a wonderful evening I enjoyed Moses and ref and Les whose songs I have also been known to sing and twas nice not to have to cook, sorry bout yer knee mate , hope it improves.

you've come a long way since we first met when I asked to sing 'welcome in another year' on Padstow on May day and I invited you to back me while becoming the resident songer-songwriter at the world reknowned Windward club as well as its web site manager.

I shall treasure those early millennium years and memories

Now get yer arse down to the Rose and crown in St Albans next month for Fleggy's cd launch on Sunday 20th April unless of course your in ozland

Those days were but yesterday, Breezy, and not likely to be forgotten. Your name was indeed mentioned several times at home after the concert, during an appropriately wet postmortem conversation, and it wasn't just because of the trenchcoat either!

Micca, I am touched by your comments, and I apologise sincerely for interrupting you in mid-pull (oh! the imagery!).

I was particularly gratified by the presence of so many Mudcatters. It also means that my persistent advertising here, at the risk of incurring the wrath and scorn of some, has been worth it! It was as a reaction to their presence there, and of course the whole left by his absence, that I dedicated "One by one" to ColK. I know that he would have been there, as he had at all my other CD launches.

Still on cloud nine and my objectivity is probably low, but I too found it a great evening from my side of the mic. I was so keen for it to go well, in order to please so many. ColK would have been one of them. Of course the evening's success owes a lot to Jonny and Vicki, Doug, David, Christine and Steve, Les...

But I "...hope that I have played my part and been worthy of my friend".

Evidently one of our Roll & Go members, Norris Dale, is at large in England (he's a quality control engineer overseeing the recycling of some widget machinery that's being shipped to Dublin) and by the sheerest coincidence happened to attend one of George's concerts. I'm not sure which one but Nor is bringing me back my own private copy of the new CD. I can hardly wait.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

George I am so pleased it went well - but anyone now who has heard it will know there was no alternative.

I was privileged to get an early copy of this for my radio show and have played it twice - confession time - once by mistake - so I played the track I should have played the first week the second week.

Dave (not the first time I have dued a track wrongly and probably not the last).

It was indeed a fabulous night, a typical Herga-style welcome for all and yes, great to see all those other friendly Catters. It was a real privilege to be involved and invited. And yes, I too felt the "presence" of ColK very much... I won't try to add to the above posts, as it's all been said now, but I'll still congratulate George on another truly excellent sendoff, well organised and supremely well run. It has taken me the biggest part of today to "come down" from the buzz of the occasion, hence the late post! I reckon that buzz will last long enough for us to forgive George for giving himself up to the Aussies for the next three weeks!! Have a great time over there George, but please do come back mate!

I can only agree with the previous posts it was a great evening one of Georges songs almost had me in tears we had a lovely time. Speaking as a performer the running was faultless and the sound was brilliant! all this and Joyces food too can we do it again please?

Sorry Rog - as I am about to leave for Oz, I keep the online ordering for the new album off on my site. From April onwards... But you can always order it from Amazon.co.uk, or from WildGoose Records, or even from Tesco.com

Hi George,

Guess you're in mid air now enroute to Oz. 'spect you'll find somewhere to peruse the old mudcat while you're out there though!

Thanks for the opportunity to be part of it, we had a fabulous evening. Have a great time, but hurry back.

Steve (and Christine)
