Dette vart ei helg vi seint kjem til � gl�yme :-) Publikum har skamrosa arrangementet fr� ende til annan, og Irsk Aften er noko som dei helst ser at vi arrangerer minst ein gong i m�naden i all framtid! No gjenst�r berre eit bes�k p� Dykkar heimebane, The Irishman i Stavanger! Ein heilaften i puben med litt allsong iblanda h�yrest freistande ut no :-) Nok ein gong tusen takk for ei kjempehelg, eg h�per v�re vegar vil kryssast igjen ved eit seinare h�ve, eller fleire	Thanks Idar.

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 Midtg�rd Honningsv�g, Nordkapp Norway	Hello everyone! Long time since I have seen you, and since I`ve been at The Irishman. Miss you a lot.

31.10.2005 Chris Barlow, London	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.

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 !!

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.
