HI
MATE, IT HAS BEEN A GREAT 12 MONTHS AND HOW SOON ITS GONE, (AS YOU
SAID ON OUR MESSAGE BOARD). IT WAS ROCKING ON THE DRUMS NO PROBLEM.
I THINK MAGGIE HAS STRUCK THE RIGHT CHORD BY SAYING, "ITS A
HARD SPACE TO FILL", THAT BL--DY DRUM STOOL, HA HA HA! ANYWAY
MATE, GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOU DO, WHETHER IT BE WORK, MUSIC AND OF
COURSE DRINKING. YOU AND GILL AND FAMILY HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS
AND NEW YEAR, BEST WISHES AND KEEP IN TOUCH,---SMASH----AND--- WENDE.
BYE FOR NOW. |

Hi
Paul,
Yes, a Great Year m8, and there was never any doubt that you could
still Rock ! Every bit as good as when we played together 25 years
ago (ouch!). I would like to thank you m8 for all you have added
to the Band since you joined and hope we can keep up the momentum
and quality that you instilled..........................Also, you
ain't dead & buried yet, as soon as we track down Chris Feakes
there's going to be a one off STRIDER Bands Reunited ! So don't
sell your Kit just yet ! All the best m8 with your promotion, see
you soon. Nik |

Al,
Smash & Nik,
Thanks for the last year guys, it was great to find out that I could
still 'do it' on the kit! You blokes are a lovely bunch to work
with and are great musicians; make sure that you keep rockin' (unlike
me!). I'll make sure that I'll come along and see you all, but the
gig must have real ale!!
All
the best & CU soon,
Paul (& Gill).

A
great big thank you for supplying the music for my big birthday bash.
The success of the party was partly due to your presence. Everyone
from 7 to 70+ enjoyed your music. Good luck Paul, sorry to see you
go, but a big welcome to Ray. Paul's a big act to follow but you are
joining a great bunch of guys.

Hi
Nik, Alan,Smash and Paul,
Just thought I’d let you know that everyone at my party on the
16th august really enjoyed the gig you performed. I thought you were
absolutely fantastic. My brother Chris enjoyed having a bash on the
drums to one of the tracks, but I think my singing needs some fine
tuning!! A lot of people there passed really good comments and you
definitely got the thumbs up from us all. Thanks again for a great
night, Oh and just to let you know that a few of us will be at The
Wishing Well on the 26th to come and see another good night. Look
forward to meeting up with you guys soon.
Sorry for late response,
ROCK ON!!!!Kim Williams |

Greetings
to the band.
Had a great night over at the Old Yardlians, well worth battling through
the floods and winds to see the lads. As usual a wicked night of live
entertainment and personal requests.
Will see you all again at The Wishing Well on the 26/09/08.
Thanks

Hi

Thanks again for a fantastic night, you went down a storm!
You should have no problem getting bookings over this way and DJ Bonzai
said "f***ing good band" and he knows all the right people.
I will get some pics together and send them over.
Thanks once again,

I
popped in to see you for a few numbers on the way home Sat (Bromsgrove)
, will come back next time mob handed and see the whole show. I remember
you , Paul, from Bandanna, with your transparent kit. Was it RED ,
you came from? I loved Bandanna, I occasionally see Mark in Sound
Control, and I used to see Pete Butler quite a bit, as he worked here
at BT for many years. Mick Hackett was a great friend of Martin &
Julie Packwood, who I played with in Viking.
I remember Nik Lloyd from Good Grief, Pete Collins left Night Service
to join Good Grief, I was the bassist and singer in Night Service.
Nice one, will be back to see you next time.

It
had to happen sometime, one of the Moms in the guestbook. This one
is Niks, (can see his blushes) We had to put up with the 14 year
learning, then playing heavy rock instead of my choices of John
Williams or the Shadows. Weve run him around to Gigs before he passed
his driving test and met all the members of his various bands. First
time I was in tears watching him play at the Mercat Cross in the
bullring. I still wonder where he got the talent from, I am a bit
biased but I think he is fantastic. Of course the other members
of X changed of pretty good as well! |

Thanks
very much Martin & Phil for your great comments, much appreciated.
The Harvester is a great gig, and we would recommend the venue to
anyone that wants a great night out. Martin, wow you've seen some
bands! make sure you introduce yourself to us at the next gig. Hopefully
when Tom at the Hop Pole finds his diary we can get another gig there
or at the wishing Well. All the best.
