Foy Vance: Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas...

Monday, 24 December 2007

...one and all!

Another quick one to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I've just been sitting here with a glass of wine listening to my Christmas show on Radio Ulster, things are tight when you start listening to yourself on the radio eh.. However this was different. It was really hard listening for me, I was constantly aware that I wasn't quite natural; ah well, it's all part of the process.

If you didn't get a chance to listen to it they're actually repeating it tomorrow (Christmas Day) and of course you can listen again online...

Right, I'm off to play Santa and his reindeer; there are mince pies, milk and carrots sitting by the fire, and they need eating. Why we can't tell kids that reindeer only eat Indian take away and Santa drinks nothing quality ales is beyond me!?

See you in the New Year, have a great one

Love
Foy...x

Merry Christmas Foy! Hope you have a nice relaxing one. Missed the show on Radio Ulster, luckily some nice soul on the Duke forum recorded it so i've just listened. Brilliant! The Silent Night version with you and Peter is amazing. So beautiful. Oh and now i feel like a takeaway!

Foy, twas a great show! I wish you all the happiness and success you deserve in 2008! Hope you had a fab crimbo and have a great new year......I particularly liked the story of you and your daughter waking up to all the excitement of the Christmas tree - that propper got me in the mood for the big day! The brass band was really cool - gave a festive twist to your songs and i'm sure your granny would be very proud! Anyhow....get some dates up for next year - we coming to see you!

Foy - when are your next gigs?? For the love of God, get some dates up on that calendar! Saw you at the festival in Bloomsbury in October, and thought you were amazing. Can't wait for the next gig...

Hello Mr Vance, I've not yet had the pleasure of experiencing you perform live, and I can't wait to- please let us know some dates and venues. I fell in love whilst listening to your music, my partner introduced me to you, he saw you live at Ronnie Scotts a few years ago. We have a four month ols little baby girl and would dearly love a weekend to celebrate her watching you x let us know when you're on again.? Best wishes for a peaceful happy year to you and your family. Rachel and Grant.

Hi Foy! Me and my two pals went along to the NYE gig in Belfast. I had never heard of you before as i have been living in Glasgow for the last 9 years in a bubble! We went along really to see OCS and David Holmes but when your session started i knew there was something very special about you and your music right away. It really affected me. Very original and moving. Absolutely brilliant! I could go on.....! You turned out to be the best act by far for me. I would like to hear more of your stuff and go to see you live again.Could you let me know if you are going to be playing in Scotland and point me in direction of albums, etc. Oh and happy new yearsto you!!!!
