I know you don't do these things so everyone will look at you and say "Well done - What a great guy!" but you should know that it says a lot about you as a person that you DO take the time to go and play to these people. I'd like to hope that I (and many others) would do the same if we were in a position to do so but the truth is I don't know if I would. I guess what I'm trying to say is that seeing what you do at these prisons makes people like me think about what I might be able to do for someone else who may be in the need of help. And I beleive stimulating that kind of thought in a person can only be a good thing so I'm officially saying "Well done. What a great guy!!". Godspeed.

Particularly as (alongside the Kooks, and Squeezes Chris Difford) my place of residence overlooks the exact same spot in the photograph. Even though we are somewhat carrying on the musical tradition, something tells me our collective won't be adopting the name of this early Brightonian troupe!!! http://www.citylibraries.info/pictures/picture_description.asp?Search=Place&Place=HOVE&PlaceID=2&SubPlace=Brunswick%20Square&SubPlaceID=161&Record=1&Records=1&ImageID=1542&From=List&StartPos=1 mark tag:www.foyvance.com:/content_article_417/9255 2008-10-24T18:17:11Z 2008-10-24T18:17:11Z the comment doesn't really work without the link!!!

I've posted once before about getting your music here in Canada and no-one had it ... fortunately a friend of mine brought back your Hope CD for me to listen to from the UK (I'm in Canada). I enjoy it immensely. I am actually going to Belfast this week to film a documentary - it will focus on the positive actions being taken by individuals and organizations as Belfast transitions away from it's past transgressions. I'm from Belfast originally, and lived right behind the Peace Wall in Ardoyne. Our family moved away after the back of our house was blown up, as well as a few other things. I've finally reached the point in my life where I feel I can return to Belfast and make my own positive contribution - that's why I'm making the film. The editor and I will be in Belfast from October 26th to November 5th to interview some people, go back to my old neighbourhood, film at local clubs and take in the music scene. We would like the chance to talk to you, or at the very least, see you perform. I will be sending an e-mail to your management company as well to see if we can arrange a meeting. I sincerely apologize if this forum was an inappropriate media to use for contact. I can be contacted at the e-mail listed. If we don't get the chance to meet, I just want to say that your music and passion have, in part, inspired me to do this particular project - and I thank you. Also, to quote a good friend of mine "That boy has a pretty impressive set of pipes!" ;) kevin Steven tag:www.foyvance.com:/content_article_417/9300 2008-10-26T00:37:41Z 2008-10-26T00:37:41Z Hey Foy, I was at the urban hymns gig tonight.

Hmm. In this economy, sounds tempting. sandra tag:www.foyvance.com:/content_article_417/9342 2008-10-26T08:46:16Z 2008-10-26T08:46:16Z Urban Hymns was ASTOUNDING! Great introduction to some new faces. What talent and what a pure joyous atmosphere. Bronagh Gallagher was a revelation a total surprise.And YOU with that breathtaking rendering of Hallelujah. Thanks to everyone who made that a night to remember ( sound was incredible) and hopefully an event to be repeated.

Was speaking to a friend who was there and said it really was an amazing gig.

I spoke to one of the Henry Girls recently about her experience playing in a prison and it sounds fascinating, so fair play. I've put a link to your blog on mine, so hopefully some new people will pay attention, check out the blog and more importantly the music. Looking forward to the next gig in Derry or that area when you get a chance. Jenny
