Thanks to John Tallon and the organisers of The Great North Country Festival. We had a great time at your festival and enjoyed playing for the Country crowd. Jim was a bit unsure how we would be received, doing all our own songs, but we were happy with the response from the crowd. Jim says

great to see so many faces from the past .... Johnny Ringo, Keith Render et al.

Great PA company also, nice to see some young guys getting in on the act. It is heartwarming to sing our songs to a country crowd and get a positive response. Thanks again. Jim, Danny, Chris and Duncan.

Thanks.... To the organisers and audience of "Moorsholm Live". We had a ball at your gig....great night for us...lovely audience, supportive comments and well looked after by the team. The North needs gigs like this! Spread the word! Dan, Jim, Chris and Duncan.
