I'm in! We young upstarts have to support one another.  ::)

Can I trade the hug for a few minutes of intimacy with your Bergflodt, Owen?

Anybody can have a play with the Bergflodt, or in your case Bob, in exchange for a play of your new beastie when it arrives ;)

It's a deal! I envy you having received your Bergflodt, whilst I, unfortunately, am still waiting for my Guais.  :'(

Owen:  I'm in for 10 pounds which I hope will get me a copy of the CD when it is done.  For the handshake, you will have to come to Alaska.  Or I will have to travel over there which is actually a great idea.  I was only in London, England for one day in the '80's on the "boat train" from Bremerhaven Germany to Ireland.  I spent the day in the Tate Gallery which had a big Turner watercolor show at the time. Please record the Bergflodt on the CD.  All the best  Charlie

Thanks Charlie! You will certainly get a copy of the CD, shipping complementary. If you ever are in the UK then let me know and I will gladly shake your hand :P The Bergflodt will play a very prominent part on this album, fear not.

Hey owen, as you may have seen on fb, Im coming up to my busy time with the wreaths, an have just shelled out a heap of money towards materials. I wish you the very very best of luck with the album, and pledge to buy a copy when its finished, and I have some spare funds. I hope you dont think this is a cop out, but I realy wanted to show my support, encourage you, and support you, as best I can ! Dont forget to pop around and play with finlays lego lol

all the best,
TP

Tommy, as someone who is low on funds myself I wouldn't be in the least bit offended if people wish not to donate through impecuniousness or indeed any other reason. Verbal encouragement is just as welcome as monetary encouragement, so thank you very much!

I really don't want people to feel obliged to give money just because lots of other people are. This album is quite a personal project and I'd rather have people donate who really think that it is worth doing and me not reach my target than have people succumb to peer pressure and support something that they don't really believe in.

.
Aim for a first rate version of yourself; reflections of others are never as good. 

All this activity reminds me of 1970, and an equally lanky Londoner trying to take off. The album was at least a year later but we arranged his first "professional" tour in Teesside, including Hartlepool, complete with monkey song! [this is still on topic, Theo!] The first gig was at Boot & Shoe, Darlington market, defo "fitted in" as there was already another guest booked: Fred Jordan. The young Kirkpatrick inevitably fluffed the words of a song, (as he still does ;)) and Jordan next to me confided "O-er, he'll n'v'r get nowhere, not wi' forgett'n' 'is lines loik that". The rest is history. Good luck.

I send my support and best wishes from Montreal.

I've added my contribution on Kickstarter.

I've ordered a CD. As with Ollie's album I would really have liked to be a bit more generous but the austere times forbid!

Having had a PPI refund I can afford to kick a bit in.

Good luck, look forward to hearing it.

Somehow and rather bewilderingly, I appear to have reached my target already! Thank you everyone, I am rather humbled by the response. I'll post again tomorrow when it's had a chance to sink in.

Regards,

Owen
