Hi Guys, looking forward to hearing you and seeing everyone on Thursday night. We're actually missing the Irish music, not so much that pish beer though!!! |
See you Thursday |

Hi Richard. Thanks for your email etc. I had a listen to the album samples and really enjoyed the music. Great stuff. Actually you've got some of my favourite songs AND tunes in there. The music is very well produced as well as excellently played. Anyway, keep in touch. I'll put a link to your website from our own, and pass on your message to Frank and Lynn, Kind Regards, Mark (Lyra Celtica). | Look forward to seeing you all next time |

Hei! Tusen takk for ei minnerik helg hjå oss i Seim Songkor sist helg! 2 fantastiske konsertar og ein skikkeleg fest med kjempestemning på laurdagskvelden. Dette vart ei helg vi seint kjem til å gløyme :-) Publikum har skamrosa arrangementet frå ende til annan, og Irsk Aften er noko som dei helst ser at vi arrangerer minst ein gong i månaden i all framtid! No gjenstår berre eit besøk på Dykkar heimebane, The Irishman i Stavanger! Ein heilaften i puben med litt allsong iblanda høyrest freistande ut no :-) Nok ein gong tusen takk for ei kjempehelg, eg håper våre vegar vil kryssast igjen ved eit seinare høve, eller fleire |
Thanks Idar. We had a fantastic time and the pleasure is all ours. Seim Songkor are extremely impressive musicians. Special additional greetings to Leif-Egil Vatnøy, Sture and Olga Solvold for looking after us as if we were family, and to Linda who saw us at Fedje and recommended us in the first place. We will remember this weekend for a long time. You are all welcome at The Irishman anytime your in town. |
| 12.2.2006 Mike Houston, Texas |
Thanks for some great music at the Irishman. I am currently offshore headed for Spain after spending 6 days in Stavanger. When I am in Stavanger I make it a point to drop by for a pint or two, probably more. Have a good one. | When you leave Spanish waters perhaps Track 9 from "Still Sailing Along" would be appropriate. CD "All for Me Grog" will be at your USA address when you arrive home. Safe journey. |
| 11.2.2006 Tove Midtgård Honningsvåg, Nordkapp, Norway |
Hello everyone! Long time since I have seen you, and since I`ve been at The Irishman. Miss you a lot. Every Saturday I feel the Irishman bug tortures me. That's when the CD is good to have :o) My little son, who is only 4 months know all the songs from Stavanger Harbour Band.. Hope to see you all soon. | We miss you too Tove. Come and visit us soon. |
| 22.12.2005 Bill, Stavanger, Norway |
Just like to wish all at "The Irishman" a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and look forward to your wonderful encouragement and support throughout 2006. | That message goes for all of the band |

Tusen takk. Velkommen igjen. |

Hi Bill I just wanted to drop you a line after Saturday. Myself and my fiancee were in the Irishman in Stavanger on Saturday and caught your set. We were over from London (I'm English, Hellen's Norwegian) for me to meet all her family. Just wanted to let you know we loved your stuff. You gave us a CD just before you went back on - I think for the last set - which was really good of you and it's brilliant. I was just disappointed to not catch you before we left the pub that day and thank you personally - We had to head for a family dinner that evening. But thank you for the CD and a great afternoon. We'll be in Stavanger again and when we are, i'll see if you're playing. All the best |
Thanks and your welcome any time. With the Norwegian connection you've got lots of excuses to visit often. |
| 30.10.2005 Maggie, Canada |
Was just visiting the band's homepage and wanted to say hi and that I really miss you guys.Hope to see you all soon! | Hurry back Maggie - we miss you too |

Sorry for taking so long to get in touch.My husband and I think that your Sailing Along cd is really super and has been greatly complimented by our friends thank you so much for introducing it to us.May see you at the Airport again |
Delighted to receive your Email. Glad to hear you and your husband like the CD. Lets see now, that would have been 21st August approx 16:30 returning home to Norway after the Irvine Folk Festival. It's not every day you get to sell a CD to a lady at Airport Security while your having your bag searched !! |

My name is Tom Hamilton, I was at the Marymass I was the one playing the left handed guitar with the stickers on, I just like to say that I thought that you all were great, and I hope to see you all again back in Irvine. | We remember you well Tom - you made a big contibution to the sessions. Thanks very much for the compliments and we surely hope to be back next year. |

Takk for en hyggelig kveld på pubben på torsdag og takk for at dere spilte "Sally Brown", selv om det ble litt skummelt. Jeg var redd for at jeg måtte synge Sally Brown selv. |
Du er helt sikkert 5 års gammel allrede Hvorfor skriver du på Norsk ?? Selvfølgelig må du bli skrivelig på engelsk snart!!! (Men synger du bra !!) ps Liker du Guinness med CocoPops ?? |
| 10.08.2005 Paul Stavanger, Norway |

| 30.06.2005 John Harris Irvine, Scotland |
Hi Dad and the Band! Nice little website you've put together. I'm sure it will be a lot more handy for yourselves to get some more gigs. Hey you never know, you might get a gig that's more high profile than The Irishman, who knows? Anyway looking forward to seeing the band at Marymass. Should be a good few days. |
Three visitors - all family. Nothing wrong with some good, honest nepotism while we're waiting for the search engine registration to be fixed |
| 28.06.2005 Peter & Kitty Devizes, England |
Hi The Band, Loved you're last CD Richard, both Kitty and myself hope you are all "Still Sailing Along". We've already booked our seats in Irvine for the Marymas Festival, looking forward to it. Best Wishes to you all. Peter & Kitty p.s. How is John's thumb now after his stumble last Marymas, hope it didn't effect his drinking? |
Nothing affects John's drinking (OK visitors!! Peter & Kitty are family too - what do you expect) |
| 24.06.2005 Marilyn Harris Leicester, England |
Hi Richard and all the band - Great website, except could not access MUSIC link, perhaps this is still under construction, as you say! Looking forward to hearing you again in Irvine. Love to all in the band and those we met in The Irishman. Maryl x p.s. Am I your first fan e-mail? |
Yes Marilyn . you are - congratulations - the music link works for me . try again (Marilyn is my sister - Richard) |
