Now theres a side that i have never seen from you before Jeaneete, sarcasm yes, a little cheeky yes, educated postings yes, but never jealousy, having said that if your free, i will take you to the gig, and yes butcher can come too, we will need someone to serve us out drinks, wont we, xxx

[4th gen Suthen']

Just that I was was OVERWHELMED by Wendy's Kevin Montgomery enthusiasm Jeanette! not just on this thread but others too! Wendy seems to be his biggest fan! and Johnny's!

But anyway, my apologies Jeanette I was more than perfectly delighted to get your early response to my plea and, of course, you are invited to the after show ring a ding......

No word on tickets or venue, or even final date, yet but as shown by the response on this thread, word of mouth and PMs the interest is high and it seems the show is a real goer.


Yep, it will be a great night.

[wendy 30]

Whoa !!!!!! I didn't come on here to cause trouble between any of you guys !!!!!!! Of course I know you're only joking but still ..........

I'm just here telling it like it is ! Get them if you can - it would be brilliant for everyone involved !

Thank you for the kind words Jeanette and please don't worry - I'm sure there's tickets for everyone !!!!!!!

[Ship called Dignity]

John,

Meant to say - yes this would be great - spoke to Colin about this before and somewhere like the Picture House would be ideal.

Anything that I can do to promote it through the web site let me know.

Cheers

- Love the web-site here !
- Book up Kevin & Johnny -- plus the band if you can !!!!

- I have never been over this way before (to Campbeltown) & would love to visit (have sleeping bag/will travel) in January-06.
- I live over by Roslin ("Dolly the Sheep, and Da Vinci Code fame) & Peebles in the Scottish Borders, & have seen Kevin & band several times, plus just K&J on their own (brilliant!) at the Beinn Inn,Glenfarg.

- All should go who have never heard or seen Kevin/Johnny & The Road Trippers before - you will *not* be disappointed, I can assure you .....

- I was put in touch with this conversation via Kevin's tour manager, and I'd like to add the following snippet to the debate - it's a review which I did for his CD ---->>

Kevin Montgomery by John Melrose 4/27/2005
- You can't go wrong with '2.30AM' and 'Another Long Story' if you want to get a fix of something extra-ordinary. - Great song-writing on both CD's, it was the song "Broken" which did it to me that first night of seeing Kevin live, brought tears with that one word, caught me out, but I was hooked, not having heard it (or Kevin) before - a moving, rich song musically & lyrically. - Containing great songs, key to me are : Melrose, Drive You From My Mind, Stumbled, Angel Tonight, Fear Nothing.
- Springsteen might have a huge following but Kevin's got the edge in terms of voice, lyrics, melody, presentation + accessability - it's all there with Kevin, and for a close-up shot of his music going to see him live is a must - whether in acoustic sessions, or with his Road Trippers Band, or even as a treat ask him round for a house concert in your own place !
- Long may he gig here in the UK and keep coming back to Scotland also !

- Any other questions, just drop me a note.

- It's in the very early stages of development, if you cannot put your exact town/village in, just let me know - I will take it up with Google.

[peedie breeks]

You lucky guys! .... I would love to see Kevin and Johnny, it will be a great night. I have seen them a couple of times and have always been impressed, they are so talented, and if you ever get to see them with the Road Trippers.... Wow! no one will be sitting.

[the phone girl]

4th gen - just checked this out not been on for a while. Seems I've been really busy....You can put me down for 3 tickets - it's the day before the phone boy's birthday will take him as a birthday treat - I enjoy the track you play on your show. Let me know when tickets on sale. Good of them to think of the radio.

[hoots the scoop]
