It has already created many special memories as I used one of your tracks (Feels like Home) to put my photos together for my tenth anniversary present for my husband - I'm in tears every time I hear it - such a beautiful song.

Jamie Males - 10/06/2007 15:54
Hey Edwina! I was at the Van Morrison concert at Thetford Forest last night and I have to say I wasn't expecting much from any support acts because often they're not ever so good, but your songs were incredibly inspiring, and you have a really beautiful voice. Keep up the good work! I hope to see you sometime in the future, Jamie :)
 
Rob - 27/05/2007 23:37
We saw you in Leicester earlier this year, bought the Hummingbird CD from you and met you in the concrete car park afterwards. I kept my promise to play the CD on hospital radio a few days later and was delighted to hear Radio 2 play a Hummingbird track just before 9am this morning. They claimed it was the first time the CD had been played on national radio. I hope it's the break you're looking for - and they said they would play another track next Sunday, too. My fingers are crossed for you all!!
 
Kath - 24/05/2007 12:57
Great to meet you and hear you at the accoustic night in Hornsea Edwina! What a treat to hear you sing and what a beautiful voice you have, you inspired me! I was honoured to share the same mike as you! Love "Pour me a drink" Keep music live! Kath
 
The troubadors - 09/05/2007 16:58
Hi Eddy, YOU ARE SO SPECIAL! We love you, The Troobs! xxxxxxx
 
Harriet - 22/04/2007 10:10
Hi Edwina, I saw you with Hummingbird last night in Buckingham and thought you were amazing! You have a lovely quite voice and it fits in very well with the rest of the band. I liked your solo songs, especially "Pour me a drink." I was sitting right at the front, really near the stage. it was the first time I'd been to the Ratcliffe Centre and thought it was a great venue. I hope to go there again sometime in the future. I'm loving the album, it was great to get an early copy and to have it signed too! I hope to maybe see you at a solo gig one day. You have a beatuiful voice. Good luck with hummingbird. I hope you do really well. Thanks again for a really excellent night. I'll never forget it! Love harriet xxx
 
Helen - 28/03/2007 14:27
Great to hear you with Hummingbird on Sunday. Looking forward to hearing you at Caistor, soon. Can't wait! Helen x
 
Gina Mendello - 19/03/2007 16:41
We sure do miss you here in Nashville. Come back!!!!
 
Derrick - 18/03/2007 09:23
Hi Edwina, Saw you again last night in Glossop with Hummingbird this time. I enjoyed it very much and good luck with the new album.
 
Tim and Shelly - 03/03/2007 19:30
Hi Edwina, we met you a couple of times in Plymouth at the Royal Oak! Just wanted to let you know we are listening to your Hummingbird CD and love it! We love your live gigs best though!! Keep it up! Hope to see you at Stu and Monia's new pub soon! Tim and Shelly x
 
Derrick - 24/02/2007 09:14
Hi Edwina, I saw you at the Gravy Train in Newton-le-Willows last night (23/2/07). Nice venue, small audience and an excellent performance from you as usual.
 
Kerin - 08/02/2007 22:34
Hi Edwina, saw you at the Red Lion on Saturday (3.2.07) in Birmingham and really enjoyed your performance. You have a lovely voice and I love the way you say 'thank you'. Thanks again for a great night.
 
Oliver Jüchems - 28/01/2007 20:14
Hi Edwina, it's so good to hear someone from our generation,singin' that soulfull.I love Joni and Emmylou,and got stucked on that for quite a while..and then along comes Edwina: Tadahh!:-)I wish you many open ears and hearts for your future,take care,Oliver (from germany)
 
Graham - 24/01/2007 16:22
Hi Edwina, Hi Edwina Saw you (for the 4th time) in Hull last night -- hypnotic as always. Just wondered if there's any chance of a return for Midnight Lament on your Myspace site? The Stebbins/Hayes harmonies are delicious! And when's the Hummingbird CD going to be out? I'm getting impatient!
 
Martin Snodin - 21/01/2007 14:39
Hi Edwina, Your fans might be interested that the guitar you kindly signed in December is now on eBay for auction. Your signature is just one of over 30 signatures, including Amy Wadge, John Tams, Dougie MacLean, Richioe Havens, Ralph McTell, Gretchen Peters, etc etc. It's all in aid of 3 cancer charities - anyone interested in bidding should go to the Acoustic Sussex website or search on eBay under Collectables.(last bids 28 January).
 
Lisette Bradshaw - 12/12/2006 16:16
Hi Edwina. I have a copy of a 5-track studio CD that you recorded somewhere in Lancashire with my friend Biff (Chris Hartley) which is excellent. I just wanted to say I think you have the most fantastic voice and I love your music. I have ordered your new album and have also just got tickets to see you at Jim's cafe in Colne next week (which has just sold out by the way). I can't wait !!! Best of luck with everything and I look forward to seeing you next week!
 
Gerald Lamb - 09/12/2006 17:54
Hi Edwina, I just heard your interview with Tony Christian on Radio Caroline and the three songs you sang just blew me away. You really do deserve to hit the big time, all the best for 2007 and have a great Christmas. Regards, Gerald.
 
Georgie - 06/12/2006 20:05
Hi sweetie, loving the new myspace singles and Hummingbird songs too. Must catch up soon. Love and kisses, Georgie xxxxxxx

Im from the US and discovered you while trying to find Susan Enan's new release Bring on the wonder, played on the show Bones. You have a lovely voice!!!! We need to hear more music like yours in the US!!! Hope to hear more from you soon!!!
 
David & kathy Rowe - 27/09/2006 11:36
Dear Edwina. Saw you at Brid. folk club last night and was totally blown away. Hope all your dreams and ambitions come true as someone with your talent certainly deserves to succeed. Hope to come to more of your gigs soon. Thankyou for signing my copy of your CD. Best wishes from both of us.
 
Helen - 18/09/2006 17:46
Late sending this! Was lovely to hear you at the Black Swan in York, last Thursday. Some brilliant acts in support, too although it would have been well worth the hour plus journey, just to hear you. Good luck with the Hummingbird Project, sounds great and looking forward to hearing some of the results when it gets going! x
 
Walter - 03/09/2006 10:27
Hello Edwina, I heard your songs on Radio Caroline a couple of years ago and was totally impressed. Today I bought your CD at Badlands online shop. Good luck to you, Walter.
 
Darrel M Jones - 12/08/2006 22:46
Dear Edwina , i just thought i would get in contact to tell you how much i enoyed your set at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham on the 31st of July i was there to see Nanci Griffith but your set was a real treat for a music lover like me , i even met you after the show and you signed my copy of your CD it was only when i got home and i saw that you said that you loiked my suit on the cover i'm glad you liked the outfit it was its first outing and to get such a comment from such a lovely and talented singer has yourself is really nice . thanks again and hoppe to see you in concert again soon . Darrel
 
Striddy Bee - 02/08/2006 16:52
Sweetie pie! It was so lovely to see you playing at the Shepherd's Bush Empire last night, you were superb. When Nanci appeared onstage to sing backing vocals for you, I almost burst with pride!! That was amazing! Love you! Striddy xxx
 
Del - 02/08/2006 16:32
Saw you at Shepherds Bush last night - brilliant. Got the album too. "There's a girl worked down the chip shop thinks she's Nanci" - and I'm cool with that - look forward to the next time
 
Jim - 01/08/2006 21:49
Hi Edwina, I also went to the Birmingham show last night and as a long time fan of Nanci Griffith I knew I'd be in for a great night, but as soon as you sang your first song I realised that it would be a fantastic night! I'd not heard your music before so I was stunned by your wonderful performance. You are an amazing talent with a lovely personality - to say you 'Won Me Over' is an understatement. Your CD is easily the best thing I've listened to for years - I wish you huge success and I look forward to another CD soon. You were THE highlight of the evening - thank you for a wonderful night.
 
Sian Rogerson - 01/08/2006 17:25
Hi Edwina, I accompanied my parents to the Nanci Griffith gig in Birmingham last night for my Dad's birthday and I'm so glad I did. I just wanted to you to know that we were all three mesmerised by your set. I found my eyes a tad wet listening to Won Me Over, it's been a long time since that's happened, it reminded me of how happy I am with my fella Mike and was truly lovely. We are so pleased to have discovered you. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more of you :-)
 
Colin Green - 01/08/2006 17:09
Hello there Edwina. My partner Kath and I were at last night's show at Birmingham Symphony Hall where you opened for Nanci Griffith. Having caught you last year at Birmingham where you were supporting Nanci, I knew we were in for a treat. The 30 minute set simply flew past and yet again, a lovely performance. The Randy Newman cover was delightful and your new song was wonderful. Don't worry about your friend who tells you your music is "too slit your wrists" by. They say the same thing about Leonard Cohen and he's done alright!
 
Derrick - 27/07/2006 21:53
Also saw you at the Bridgewater Hall last night and bought the CD. I agree fully with the comments from Kerry. I have to admit I had not heard of you before but you were terrific and you were the highlight for me of a great evening with Nanci. I have been playing your CD all day. Great voice. Derrick
 
Kerry - 27/07/2006 18:19
Hi, saw you open for Nanci Griffith last night. What a great performance. Fab to hear your voice with the guitar and none of the extra backing instruments.... What a star you are. Signed the CD for me..... and I couldn't believe the queue for the cd's and for you to sign them!! I think everyone near us in Bridgewater Hall Manchester had a copy!! Great voice. Will look out for future gigs. Many Thanks for a brilliant night of music. Kerry
 
Morag - 26/07/2006 14:11
Hi, saw you play last night at ABC in Glasgow. You were fantastic. I bought your CD and have been playing it all morning. Going to try and make it through to see you play in Edinburgh. Look forward to seeing you playing again soon.
 
Music Row Folks - 16/07/2006 06:56
Wa'sup from hot and humid Nashville, TN where the air is dank and sticky as a swamp and your devoted friends, fans, and fello Jack drinkers wish you we here to sing our blues. Love, Michael, Kristin, Lane, Carissa and all of your 1605 16th Ave mates.

Julie - 20/06/2006 10:47
Beautiful set at Beverley Folk Fest! An honour to hear you sing, and to play alongside you. All the best and hope to see you again! Julie xx
 
Helen - 11/06/2006 01:41
Thanks for a wonderful night's music, at Caistor, Edwina. Was brilliant, and am still flying high from the extra thrill of doing a support spot for you, with Ian! Loved your songs, voice, and whole performance and the whole night was really special. You made a lot of new fans, too, Caistor was impressed! Not without very good reason. Can't wait to hear you again.
 
Neil B - 10/06/2006 01:21
Wow what a night in Caistor two great sets your songs get better and better hope the film thing takes off you deserve it cheers Neil B

Hi... looking forward to your visit to Caistor... we love live music here
 
Raychel Lutkin - 02/06/2006 21:37
Eddie, Not only are you one of the most talented singers I have ever listened to (you make my skin tingle) but you are also one of very few people that I have ever met that from the moment we spoke, I felt I had known you for ever! You are so down to earth, and genuinely nice and honest, that I am honoured to call you a friend. I just wish I wasn't moving away, but I am sure that we will stay in touch. With all my love, and Best Wishes for all your future albums (of which I hope there will be LOADS), Ray xxxxx P.S. -kisskiss-
 
Sarah Parker - 28/05/2006 09:28
I saw you play at the sympony hall a couple of years ago. I am 13 and love your songs, i got my mom to buy a guitar for me and i'm learning to play it now and want to learn your songs!
 
Helen - 27/05/2006 11:35
Ditto, Ian, thanks Edwina! See you at Caistor and really looking forward to hearing you again.
 
Ian - 25/05/2006 11:38

Peter Brown - 24/03/2006 20:08
Hi Edwina - it's so nice to see you doing so well, being a signed artist and your wonderful talent recognised. The very best of luck in your career! I shall never forget when you backed me when I did a show a few years ago and you were so complimentary about my songs. I am downloading a few of your songs from the album you released last year. It's really great to hear you and hear from you again. Thanks for your music and support over the years - Peter
 
Louise Banks - 16/03/2006 17:24

Dave Fox - 26/02/2006 17:15
Hi. Edwina, Its so good to see how far you have come from that first meeting we had in Hearn Bay. I still listen to the recording I made from the Radio Caroline Roadshow and still play tracks from the CD you signed on my shows on Radio Seagull. I knew you would make it , with such a great voice and being a very nice person. All thebest for what may come, Dave
 
clare oddy - 23/02/2006 13:07
Hi Edwina, just looked at the forthcoming gigs - yay! You are going to be in York soon. When you get further details of when you will be on, will you please post them on your site so I can come and see you again! Accoustic love was being played in my gym last week, and you came on! I was telling everyone who you are and to buy your cd! Hope you are well.
 
marcos alegria - 22/02/2006 23:21
look forward to the gig's and songs...great things!
 
Joanne - 21/02/2006 23:47
Hi Edwina! Bought the Acoustic Love SOngs Cd and I just love your song "I want your love".. It's the only one I've heard as of now, but it's amazing!! I wish you could post the lyrics to it here in your site. I wanna sing along and maybe, understand some parts of the song that I can't hear very well.. thanks!
 
I am glad, that have seen this site. It was pleasant to me. I congratulate all happy New Year! Health, successes, love and happiness!
Jojo - Dec 05

Hi Edwina.  My name is Eimear Bradley. I was the violin player with The Bogtrotters(see thebogtrotters.com) on the live BBC Radio Lancashire Show we both did in October 2005. I absolutely loved your voice. Your songs are beautiful and you came across so naturally. Our whole band loved your performances as did the live audience in the studio. Keep up the excellent work. You are so talented!Happy Christmas and all the best for 2006 and the future.Eimear Bradley
Eimear Bradley - Dec 05

ady - Dec 05

Edwina I saw you play support for Ricky Ross in Milton Keynes earlier in the year and hope you can playing this neck of the wood again one day. I know you went down a storm at The Stables, especially judging by the queue to meet you at the interval, you’d sold out of your CD’s by the time I reached you! But soon remedied. And for those interested Edwina appears in the December 2005 issue of Maverick magazine (3 pages) details at www.maverick-country.com
David Humphries - Nov 05

Saw you at the Jools Holland gig in Cheltenham. Really enjoyed your performance - and excellent CD too! Hope you'll come back this way.
Rod Matthews - Nov 05

Hi Edwina!  Saw you supporting Jools holland at the guild hall in portsmouth and you were brilliant!  I was the first person whose CD you signed at the interval! :)  Hope you're good.  Take care.
Duncan B. - Nov 05

Sad to see you're not coming to Glasgow on 2nd December supporting Jools Holland - saw you earlier this year supporting Ricky Ross and still enjoying the CD.
Ally - Nov 05

Beautiful set supporting Jools Holland in Leicester last night, can someone confirm the name of your guitarist friend accompanying you and doing backing?  I didn't catch his name but his playing was awesome!  Off to download your album from iTunes now and recommend you to my friends. You should get a MySpace music page too.
Jan B - Nov 05

hi edwina remember me its sam rosies friend from college!just thought i would say i love ure music and hope to see u again soon!!sam x
sam nicholson - Nov 05

Edwina,        I have to echo the sentiments of Carissa Broadwater and say that we miss you in Nashville and look forward to seeing you in "these here parts" once more someday.  Especially now that the Christmas (music) season is not far away!        P.S.:  Read about my 2nd South Africa experience:  www.bbcsouthafrica.blogspot.com   So many of those people talked just like you!  Amazing!  HA!
Mark Kelly Hall - Oct 05

My wife and I saw you last night in Belfast - I had the shirt you admired ! . Both of us were knocked out by your sincerity , talent and performance skills . What a voice ! Beautiful songwriting ! Nashville has been good for you - take more of that medicine . Look forward to hearing you soon and reading about your very big  success which WILL definitely happen
Alan C Beck - Oct 05

Hi all. For all those of you who i hope will be interested, there is an exclusive interview with Edwina about her feelings towards her debut album release and alot more besides on my website at www.kidjuxta.tk if you would care to take a look, and even leave a message or two on the forum there if you have anything you would like to say about the site in general. Thankyou for your time and i hope you all enjoy reading the interview. (Steve Rudd - Webmaster)
steve rudd - Oct 05

I dare someone to try to be as good as Edwina Hayes it will never happen, I know because I have tried!! Can't stop telling everybody how awesome she is!!!!!!!!!!
momma - Oct 05

carissa broadwater - Oct 05

It is time for a true artist to shine, you my friend are the most amazing touching singer i have heard in my life time God speed your deserved sucess.  love you  carissa
carissa broadwater - Oct 05

Hi Edwina, saw you in Glasgow with Jools Holland back in summer time.  Like many here, bought your CD and was lucky enough to have met you and have you sign it. Love your voice and really hope things are going from strength to strength for you. Come back to Scotland again soon please  x
Barbara - Oct 05

The album which I have had for a couple of months is so good(thanks Renee for the recomendation). For a poor old 60+ yearold good music fan who can't travel too far, howabout a gig at the Mick Jagger Centre Dartford......Cara Dillon has done two really good shows there and I'm sure you would go down really well
julian - Oct 05

Was blown away last night when you played the opening set for Jools Holland at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen, what a beautiful voice.  It was a pleasure to meet you after your set and many thanks for signing the cd. Hope you manage to play in Aberdeen again in the future.
Darren Beaumont - Oct 05

Hi, would you like to play on our acoustic night at our venue Viva Viva in Crouch End? Give me a call if you can.    Cheers    Terry    020 8341 0999
Terry - Oct 05

We went to see Nanci Griffith and heard Edwina & her acoustic set. Lovely. Glad to see that many more people enjoy a pared down sound. No huge backing to distract from heartfelt vocals. Well done Edwina. See you at The Store!
Paula Allum - Oct 05

Hey Edwina!  Saw you for the first time supporting Nanci Griffith at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh earlier this year and thought you were fab!  Bought your album the following week and think's it's brill.  A few of your songs have got me through some stressful times! and The Road can make me a wee bit teary!  Anyway, keep doing what you're doing, you're amazingly gifted and a pleasure to listen to.  Let us know when you're next playing in bonnie Scotland! :-)
Gemma - Sep 05

A review of Edwina's fab album has recently appeared on the high profile website at www.thisisull.com if anybody cares to check it out... if they can find it that is, amongst the hundreds and hundreds of other articles on the site. Here's looking forward to Edwina's eagerly anticipated next release!...
steve rudd - Sep 05

Your set at Cropredy Friday was sublime. Love the Album. Will be checking for get to-able gigs.  G
Gordy - Sep 05

Hey Jules, Im hoping to get back to Scotland soon and as soon as anything comes in I'll put it up on the gigs page asap!  Thankyou ever so much to everyone who has gone to the trouble to write a message here, it's really lovely of you Thankyou!  At the moment Im holed up in the garage writing and recording some new songs and looking forward to my Winter gigs with Jools and whatever other gigs may come in! Love Eddy xxx
Eddy - Sep 05

Hi, does anyone know if Edwina plans to come back and play in Scotland any time soon??
Jules - Sep 05

Wow! What a voice; truly beautifil and moving. And a natural gift for saying everything in a song. My first experience of Edwina was a Cropredy - it sure won't be my last. :)
St. Hubbins - Aug 05

Edwina, I saw you open for Daniel Bedingfield at the Summer Pops in Liverpool and thought you were amazing. Great songs of uplifting melancholy and a voice to match. You really won the audience over - Liverpool crowds don't react that way to be polite. Please come back to the Pool soon, and good luck with the rest of the tour.  
Tony Morris - Aug 05

Hi Edwina just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your performance at Cropredy. You have a truly haunting & unforgettable beautiful voice. I bought your CD and hope you can fix a gig date in Oxfordshire soon please!
Kate & Bill - Aug 05

Simon - Aug 05

We saw you in concert with Nanci Griffith in Croydon Fairfield hall, you blew us both away with your talent. We have almost worn your album out! Please let us know when you will be in concert in the south london area!        Stevie n' Stu    x    x    x    
Steve n' Stuart - Aug 05

Just heard your fantastic voice for the first time on Michael Parkinson and having 'Googlised' you, have played your samples over and over waiting until Monday when I shall buy your CD.  Especially adore the Jazzy twist to 'Eyes of a Stranger'.  I predict a star in the making ....
Des - Jul 05

Hi Edwina, i saw you July 16 supporting Van Morrison, you were great and a star in the making, great voice, bought the cd and havnt stopped playing it since see u soon, keep it up x
Melanie Shea - Jul 05

Hi Edwina, I saw you for the first time at the Liverpool Pops, supporting Daniel Bedingfield, a few nights ago. It always bugs me when a crowd talk through a support act so it was a welcome change when your amazing talent shut them up for a bit! Thank you very much for signing my CD (and my Aunt's CD - yes, we bought two!) and for checking whether my name was a G or a J - also makes a nice change! It was lovely to get a chance to meet you. Your album is fantastic - haven't stopped listening to it from the minute we got back in the car after the concert. I particularly like "I Can't Believe" for it's haunting sound and "Closer To Home" which is a bit motivational for me as I'm trying to make some changes in my life and chase a few dreams of my own at the moment! I'm sure you're not going to need it but I wish you the very best of luck in the future and hope to see you perform live again soon :-) x
Gillian - Jul 05

hey edwina, it was inspiring to see you in Liverpool last night. As soon as you started singing, people hushed their conversations and turned their attention to you on the stage - it was a great performance. well done you - see you soon sweetie love sarah, mandy and myles xxx
sarah moriarty - Jul 05

Hey to all...good going. Am excited for you...it's fun to read the daily log. God bless, Cary  
Leah Shelby - Jul 05

Thanks Edwina for making my night at central docks Liverpool a great one. I originally went to see Daniel Bedingfield an ended up wanting you to stay on an perform more. An thanks for signing the album cover even if you didnt have time to write my name on.... ps. i love 'eyes of a stranger', 'no idea', 'want you to stay' infact i love it all its great your a star..

Jennifer Kerr - Jul 05

Thank you so much edwina for coming down to play the faersham the other week. it was a loverly evening, and made a uge impression on those who came. i'll be in touch!        Thanks again    xx
Joe - Jul 05

Great gig at The Faversham tonight - just a shame about the "noisy buggers" who were there for a chat rather than to hear you (their loss!!). Nice to hear some of your other songs that didn't make the album, albeit at the expense of some great songs that did make it. Maybe a CD-R of some of these songs could be made available through the web-site.
Keith - Jul 05

Hi Edwina,  Saw your 'vid' on songs of praise as forewarned by you at the Etton gig.  In the words of the commercial 'By gum you looked gorgeous petal !'. We are coming to see on Monday 4th at the Faversham and I am busy telling lots of other people to come too!  See you then xx
Clare & Craig - Jun 05

hi honey - glad to see you are still doing so well and have so many gigs lined up! fab to see you again soon - we will be at one of your next gigs ...just keep your eyes open! Still think you need to thank reflective dressing gowns, black leggings and Astbury corridoors for all your success xx love you lots xx emma
emma dixon(williams) - Jun 05

Saw you on Songs of praise. Not a patch on your CD work, totally unexpected but still very enjoyable!I Have seen you live on a few occasions and think you are at your very best then, you are excellent! Hope to hear more from you soon.
liz - Jun 05

Hey hon,    Awesome to see you with an album out, listened to the samples and will definitely be buying a copy. Truly wonderful songs, glad to see some old faves of mine on there.(Where I Belong espeshly) Still have an old acoustic album of yours I listen to lots. I too have a band now and am trying to get our EP released. If you wanna you can hear it for nowt at www.overplay.co.uk/emporia.

Edwina - fantastic evening supporting Ricky Ross at the Rosehill.  You have a wonderful voice and a unique talent.  The CD is a joy to listen to.  Looking forward to hearing great things about you. The CD has already been around 5 people and that has given you 5 new fans. This is the first time I have ever left any message like this before and I have been buying CDs for 20 years. Thanks for introducing me to a beautiful collection of songs.

Dear Edwina, While on holiday in England, I saw you open for Ricky Ross in Birmingham on May 17th.  What a treat!!  You're "Tell Me So" song brought me to tears. With a voice and heart like yours, I suspect we'll be hearing more from you.  Thank you so much!!
Louise - May 05

Hi Edwina, My wife and I saw you at Eastbourne with Ricky Ross Last night (22/05/05) Your set was excellent. It was Good to hear an Artist with something real to sing about. You have songs that can touch people, a very rare talent.    Look forward to the opportunity to hear you again.        Paul & Julie Briffitt
big bopper briff - May 05

rebecca fellows - May 05

Edwina,    Truly amazing. I haven't much more to say! Your voice is just beautiful. I was lucky enough to see you supporting Ricky Ross at Burnley Mechanics on Sunday 15th May and was absolutely stunned by your music. I really do hope that all your dreams come true and you will continue to write such wonderful songs.    P.S. All my family will be watching you on Songs Of Praise on Father's Day. Everyone one of them is amazed at your album!  (I am 11 years old!)
Evie Ingle - May 05

Hello Edwina, saw you for the first time on Monday 16 June at Leeds City Varieties. I will be honest with obviously I went to see the beautiful RIcky Ross (which you agreed with me at the interval), and always open minded and yet a little apprehensive of support groups. When you first came out and spoke in your tiny soft voice I became more apprehensive and then you started to sing and knocked my bloody socks off, your voice is truely amazing, so mellow, so smooth, your lyrics so meaningful to individuals feelings and your guitar playing amazing. I was gob smacked and I will be looking out for any more tours you do. Thank you Hx
Helen Louise Wood - May 05

Hi Edwina,    I'm so glad to see you doing so well with your music, I first heard you sing when you were in Chester and I thought you had a great voice then, I now see you going from strength to strength. I wish you all the best and I hope to come to one of your gigs when you come to london. Cheers, Dave
David Tughan - May 05

Seen you at the Rosehill Whitehaven, Cumbria)on Saturday 14th May.  Think that you have the most amazing voice and beautiful meaningful songs.  Was move to tears when I heard your voice.  Wonderful and refreshing to hear someone so talented.  Hope to see you again soon.  Good Luck x x
Robyn & Richard - May 05

Hello again Edwina. I really enjoyed catching another of your wonderful performances at the Rosehill theatre in Whitehaven last night. It was really nice to finally get the chance to say hello and get my CD signed. I hope its not too long before your next visit to Cumbria. All the very best.
Stephen McGinn,  Carlisle - May 05

Edwina, I saw you in support for Jooles Holland at the Warwick Arts Centre on the 8th May......You were fantastic!!! I haven't stopped listening to your CD since.... I know all the songs off by heart already!  You even signed it for me but I couldn't say much for fear I might burst into tears..... you took my breath away! After ten years of not playing, you have inspired me to finally pick up my guitar agian and I can't thank you enough for that.        I wish you all the luck in the world for the future..... you deserve all the success that comes your way!  
Natalie - May 05

Hi, Just wanted to say that I saw you open for Ricky Ross last night at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, and you were fantastic.  It was a hard act for Ricky to follow.  Best of luck and I am sure we will be hearing a lot more of you!!!
Kelly McLeod - May 05

Edwina, your gig at etten was the loveliest night out I've had in a very long time. Your set was beautiful and there just seemed to be such a warm atmosphere in the place, that I'm sure the whole audience felt. Thank you once again,    keep in touch.
Claire Smith - May 05

Hi Edwina, thought I would echo Helen's comments about the gig in Etton on Tuesday. It was, without a doubt, truly wonderful. You do indeed have an amazing stage presence, which, when I am listening to my cd I can remember more clearly now! The sets you played were briilliant (not just because you dedicated a song to us - you made our year!). Can't wait to see you playing another full gig very soon!!
Clare and Craig - May 05

hiy eddy, great night seein you at etton on tuesday night. you have a beautiful voice, and ure songs are ace :D    good luck with everything!!    love steph xxxxxxxx
steph - May 05

Wonderful gig, Edwina. I was looking forward to it so much that I thought it may not live up to my expectations but it was fantastic. Loved hearing your songs and it was great to hear the covers too. Never tire of listening to your lovely voice and you have stage presence I can only dream of ever acquiring.Wish we were coming again tonight! (And no folk, I am not related, sorry to gush but she really is fantastic..!)
Helen Bennett - May 05

Can't wait to hear you at Etton tonight, Edwina. Looking forward to hearing a full gig at last. Know you will be great as always and hope you bring a few cds for us to buy! Helen
Helen Bennett - May 05

Hi Edwina, I saw you at the Lowry tonight supporting Loudon Wainwright and was fortunate enough to have you sign my CD. You gave a beautiful set and I wish you every success for the future. Hope to see you again soon.
Bill - May 05

Hi Edwina.  We saw you at York when you were accompanying Nanci Griffiths.  It was a pleasure to hear you and to meet you.  Now we just need to find out when you are on in London again!
John & Elizabeth - May 05

Saw you opening for Loudon Wainwright III last night. An excellent performance, from a beautiful and charming young woman. Thank you for signing my CD and being so impossibly nice.
Ags Connolly - Apr 05

Hi Edwina.  Saw you opening for Nanci at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh on Sunday night and you were just superb!  What a beautiful voice and a lovely person you are.  Your songs were beautiful and sung with such love it sent shivers down my spine.  We bought your cd which you kindly signed for us and can't stop playing it. Now have 5 friends going out to buy it!  I hope it is the first of many cds as we just love the music.  Love Nanci Griffith and discovering your music was such an added bonus to a fantastic evening.  We wish you all the very best and look forward very much to hearing more from you.  With love and admiration.  Kay & Jim xx
Kay & Jim - Apr 05

Hi Edwina,    Met you in Nashville and I'm really chuffed to see how well you're doing and I can't wait to hear the new album. Hope to catch you in concert sometime soon, maybe at the Cornish gig. Keep on rockin'... All the best Jez
Jez Luton - Apr 05

Saw you last night at the Usher Hall concert with Nanci and thought you were outstanding. Such beautiful songs sung with love. I agree with the other guest that while you album is very good and should do well it struggles to live up to your live performance.
Jim Smith - Apr 05

We so enjoyed your performance at the Usher Hall last night - & also the brief chat when you signed the cd we bought (I introduced myself by saying I had been born in Huggate, as if that would mean much, even to someone from Driffield!!). But thanks for sharing such beautiful songs with us, & sincere best wishes on your future career.
David Williamson - Apr 05

Just seen your fantastic set at the UsherHall supporting nanci. Jings you're good! Bought your cd and listened to it on the way home. Best of luck for the future.    PS did anyone else thing the crowd at the usher hall gig were a tad 'boring', i was clapping along to my fave song by nanci, only to get evil stares from the people sitting beside me. Ho Hum!
Jules - Apr 05

We saw your live set at the Usher Hall Edinburgh on Sun 24th April - you signed my daughter's copy of your CD in the foyer. Thank you for the show, it was outstanding. I have to agree with some other posters on the message board, that the live performance is so good that the album struggles to live up to this. The solo acoustic set had a real haunting beauty that the CD just doesn't match - I'll still play it often though, and hope that you'll be back in Scotland soon.        Wishing you continued success.
Tom Cook - Apr 05

Hi , just thought I would say how much we enjoyed you on Friday night in Birmingham , definitely going to get the CD!  many thanks
barry jackson - Apr 05

An utterly moving and beautiful performance in Birmingham last night.  Thank you for sharing your soul, with songs written and sung from the heart.  Shine, shine and go far!  From another soulful woman with so much to say.  Kx

We saw you open tonight at Birmingham for Nanci, Amazing!  You are belssed with a beautiful voice and an amazing songwriting talent.  We bought your album and are looking forward to seeing you on songs of praise.  You are going a long way!!!!!  Thanks for sharing your voice with us!
Rebecca Fellows - Apr 05

Excellent show in Cambridge last night. I didn't even know who you were until the interval(arrived 15 minutes late). I've been listening to your signed CD all day, as well as in the car on my way home. I enjoyed your performance even more than Nanci's! All the very best for the future - I am sure someone else will be supporting you soon!
Sue - Apr 05

Saw you last night @ Cambridge, fair blew me away. Didn't have the £15 on me so going out today to buy the albumn.    Stay Lovely, Rach

Suzy - Apr 05

Saw you last night in Croydon - thoroughly enjoyed your performance - couldn't get near you to buy the CD at the interval because of the crowd!  Will buy this week and look forward to seeing you live again.
Mark Ayers - Apr 05

Hi. Saw you last night in Nottingham, what a great voice and brilliant songs, wishing you all success. Bought the CD on the night and listened to it on the way home, just perfect, many thanks.
martin & Helen - Apr 05

I saw you last night in Nottingham, opening for Nancy and you blew me away. I thought you are a fantastic person, with a huge talent and an inspiration to young musicians. Can't wait till you are back in Nottingham, no doubt being the main act of the night!!
Reem - Apr 05

I saw you at newcastle last saturday. For me you stole the show. Im only 19 so you are appealing to young and old alike. Please come to Newcastle again soon. As a solo act you were simply astonishing
rob - Apr 05

We realy enjoyed your show in Newcastle. It was lovely to meet you and look forward to seeing you again.
Richard and Gill Marsden - Apr 05

Hi Edwina, I've just seen you open for Nanci at York and Newcastle, and loved your charming performances. You've got a beautiful voice and write some smashing songs - "Won me over" is my favourite. I can't believe some people don't watch the opening act when they are as good as you!  .PS. you seemed a little reserved on joining Nanci and the BMO for the encore - don't be! you deserve to be up there with such great musicians! Go for it!!! All the best...
Stephen McGinn - Apr 05

Watch you open for Nanci Griffith at Newcastle 16 april - what a wonderful voice,cd great - you really deserve to make it big time! best wishes for the future and I hope to see you play live again.  Shaun
Shaun Gallagher - Apr 05

Hi Edwina, saw you in Bristol supporting one of my absolute favourites Nanci Griffith. Brought my wife Sarah along and she loved your music as well! YOur voice reminds me a bit of Beth Nielsen Chapman, i.e. very beautiful indeed. Hope to see more of you in the future and all the best in life!
Nick Warren - Apr 05

Hi Edwina, saw you at york with Nanci, just one word to say on your performance, WOW. Would have loved to have talked to you at the interval, but could'nt get bloody near you, (Had to go for a pee anyway) I'll keep an eye on your future gigs and i'm off to buy your cd.
Ron Tmms - Apr 05

I thought that you were amazing when I saw you before the Nanci Griffiths concert and yu were very inspiring for me thank you for signing my copy of your album I am going to tell all my firends to by it for themselves so they can see how great you are        Chrlotte xxx
Charlotte - Apr 05

hey nice album. found a promo copy in oxfam for £3.00! the vocals seem to have been mixed quite 'safely' down in the mix losing the earthy quality of your live sound but apart from that it's a great first album.    ps. thanks for the mention in the credits.x
MB - Apr 05

Edwina    Best wishes for your tour with Nanci Griffiths    Love, Mum xxx

Edwina - thanks for performing a great set at the Tsunami Disaster Fund-raising concert in Cherry Burton on Friday, -and donating a copy of your new album to the raffle! The event raised £1200 for the appeal and we couldn't have done it without you and the other musicians - thanks again!        Martin (on behalf of Cherry Burton Arts)    
Martin (Cherry Burton Arts) - Jan 05

Edwina,    Your music is the greatest!  If you need another guitar player, I will give it my best shot!  Take care and keep it up,    Jake
Jake Knopfler - Dec 04

Dear Edwina,    I did see you opening voor JHRBO at the RAH    and I must say I was stunned. What a warm    performance. It was even better to meet up with you in person later that night (27-28/11/04. You're such a nice person and i'm    sure you're gonna make it ALL THE WAY !    Take care & love        Paul N. Dohmen    From The Netherlands (that's HOLLAND)    dohmenpaul@zonnet.nl
Paul N. Dohmen - Dec 04

Hi again Edwina. All day long I was so looking forward to getting home and putting on your new cd. It was certainly worth the wait as this is the most remarkable collection of songs I’ve heard in a very long time.  I cannot fault any of them. I loved the solo acoustic sets but these recordings with the band are also superb. I’ve read some of the earlier comments of a more critical nature but cannot agree with them. All the performances on these songs are at the highest level of musicianship. This is truly wonderful material. I am so glad Jools Holland had you opening for him in Glasgow otherwise we would not have realised what we have been missing. After listening all the way through we put on some Sandy Denny for comparison. My earlier comments are, I think, totally justified. Clearly the voices are not identical but there is a striking and very pleasing similarity. Hope you don’t mind me adding your comment about the production link with John Wood having produced records with Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson. Thanks so much for the pleasure these songs will give us for years to come. If you need a very young guitarist you know where we are! :-)
Glyn Phillips - Dec 04
