MessageHi Debs,

Sorry to get this note off so late.....It was great meeting you at the Turin Brakes concert and many thanks for allowing us to pay the day of the show! As expected, Turin Brakes and Kate Walsh were fantastic. I can't think of anything more pleasureable than spending an evening with others who enjoy their music as much as we do. Although we came all the way from Texas (home state of the dreaded George Bush), everyone made us feel at home. In fact, not only did I love the music, but I made a new friend with that Kent beer. By the time the evening was over, the girls at the beer table and myself were old friends! smilie They need to export that beer to the states.........Anyhow, it was a night my wife and I will never forget. Thanks again to you and all the others for your hospitality and we hope to see you again in the future!

Glen and Katie Guthrie

MessageAh bless you Stefan! I know how you feel, it was wonderful wasn't it. Thanks to everyone that came from far and wide (and near) and to everyone that helped make it possible, not least Kate, Eddie, Olly and Gale, for gracing us with their talents. Many more magical gigs to come in that lovely venue - keep coming, keep it happening.

MessageGlad I travelled all this way to see Turin Brakes and Kate Walsh in such a wonderful venue. The mood was just perfect and the evening full of nice surprises. Kate played a perfect set, her voice is really good and her songs spellbinding if you pay enough attention - and you should!
Turin Brakes made the night perfect with an amazing set. The acoustics of the venue were demonstrated during the PA-less rendition of 'New Star'. Gale's guitar playing was perfect and the in-between banter was quite funny as well. After the thank you's near the end, I felt like we should all have gathered in one big group hug. It was a perfect evening. Thank you for organising it!

MessageDebs and Alister, well done on getting Turin Brakes down to Canterbury. They played such a polished set and the new stuff is really promising.
Kate Walsh has a very mesmirising voice.

MessageKitty and myself saw the Kate Walsh/Turin Brakes concert on Saturday and had a wonderful time.
Great music and great venue. Magical!
Alastair-Check out Jim Westbrook at theguitarmuseum. He's more into classical guitars but he'd be a useful contact for you.
Cheers
Dennis

MessageDebs & Alistair. Many congratulations for another great concert!
These 'rare treats' are becoming a welcome regular occurence. Going to see artists we have grown up with is always a pleasure, but last night was a whole new pleasure for us. Sometimes not knowing artists such as last nights TB/KW concert can be equally good or even better.
We were emmersed in the most passionate original new songs which were flawlessly and sensitively delivered. A thoroughly well earned standing ovation to all conerned.

MessageMagic performances at the ISC - despite the pre-gig tension in the air and sound checks right up to the last possible minute, Kate Walsh sang with the pure and intimate vocals of a relaxed and assured star. The mix was just right for her and preserved the fantastic quality of her voice - do not disturb those settings for the 2nd night at all! When she brought on Turin's Olly for company for a duet their harmonies meshed really well - a bit hesitant at first - then they clicked and it was magic!

Warmth from all of us in the audience for Turin as they settled in to their first gig in months - essential supplies of Blu-tac thrown in from the sound gallery by Mr Atkin the luthier onto the stage made us laugh and then Olly Knight relaxed and let fly. I have to say I have never seen them live so am not hampered by the notion of a "hay day". What a treat. Guitar sounds to die for, warm and crisp. Acoustic base textures magnificent, and vocals from Ed superb. 3 musicians making a sound like 13. Slide guitar from Gale was complimentary yet dominant sometimes, his tone resonant and his array of pedals mixed in depth and textures that the PA held really well.Difficult to mix but the balance improved all along, the subtleties of a new song "Paper Moon" reduced one audience member to tears, and after the interval they really took command and deserved the standing ovation that followed.

We made a 140 mile round trip for this magic and would double the mileage to see them again!
