Name: Richard Langridge

Hi Jimmy and Val,

Thanks for requesting myspace friendship. I'm happy to do that.

Checked out your website and love your music. We seem to like a lot of similar artists and songs too.

Hope to see you at Faldingworth in March. I've played there a couple of times with my singing partner Kathryn and they're a great audience and the organiser Les is a nice bloke. We're there as support for Anthony John Clarke in October.

Best of luck with your music, I'll keep a regular eye on your website.

If you have a little time to spare check out my "day job" website.

Very best wishes,

Richard

Name: Normskie Greetings from Manchester.

Fantastic web site, really enjoyed the music, especially, fell in love with ‘Some Way Home’.

Despite having lived in Ashington for 8 years never knew there was a folk club round the corner.

Next time I am up that way, I might pop in.

Name: David Anderson Just looked at your website... you should be very proud of it - it's about time someone brought the folk scene into the 21st Century. We must try to inject some new blood into it, and by your efforts we most probably will.

More power to your elbow. Keep up the good work... wishing you all the best.

Name: David Stowe (Los Angeles) I was Googling a Taylor 855ce and ran across your site. I've been trying to find the guitar, but this time of year, it seems that they are a bit scarce. Other instruments are an old Guild D50, a Ramirez GH and a Larrivee LV10e, which I really like (great for finger styles and totally unobtrusive on-board electronics - BBand a.2).

I'll bookmark you; do you have recordings available?

Name: John Liipere My parents bought an Yamaha FG-580 for my 30th birthday in 1976. It's been sitting in its case most of the time since then because I'm also 5'2" & it is uncomfortable to hold & play. Last year I bought a satin finish rosewood bodied parlour Larrivee. It's fantastic to hold & play. Further, I was directed to luthier Mike Kinal here in Vancouver & will in the next 3 weeks have presented to me a custom made Mini Voyageur jazz guitar on which I was able to do some of the final sanding prior to the satin finish being applied. After all of this preamble, how much is my FG-580 valued in the current market?

Name: anonymous Just listening to 'One More Song +' CD whilst doing final Christmas present wrapping.

Thanks again for your music - I find it soothing, emotional and just what music should be - thought provoking. And most of the thoughts bring back very happy memories for me. Keep doing it!

Name: Art I have just listened to jiva's CD. The songs all had a soothing quality which literally mellowed my mood to a more relaxed state. I must stress that I was very much awake at the end of the CD. I particularly enjoyed the bright and melodic combination of the 12 and 6-string guitars. The songs were simple, but had a flow to them that was nice on the ear.

I don't know much about folk music, but the songs could do with a bit of uplifting. Having said that, 2 of the songs were memorable just after 2 listens, for their subject matter and their melodies. They being: "All Day Every Day" and "Windmills of Blyth".

The singing was a little solemn at time, but again, this is probably in keeping with the musical genre. The harmonies added richness.

Jethro Tull is about as close to folk as I generally get, but I will definitely be playing the CD many times to myself and others. Very easy to navigate web site.

Name: Frank Robinson Enjoyed your songs on the cd you kindly gave me at the Barrington a couple of weeks ago. (I am Kevin's friend). Some nice Northumbrian references in the lyrics. I particularly enjoyed 'Dream On' which you played that evening and think it is gorgeous.

Excellent web site. Makes mine look like an eyesore. Good luck. .
