Just to let you know that although I stopped singing with Western Approach last autumn it has not stopped my love for the music and your performances. Keith was always my role model and still is although I now only sing in the bath. I just wanted to send my best wishes to you for the upcoming convention and hope with all my heart that you achieve the 'Gold' that you deserve. Best Regards Barry Lewis (Lead) posted 9/5/07 Go get 'em at the weekend boys!!!!! Wish I could be there to see you pick up that Gold!!!! Lots of luck anyway.

I did manage to catch your semis performance though, which was great! It was a pleasure to sing with 3 of you on Saturday afternoon with CCC – it’s a shame you couldn’t be with us Keith. Good luck for your championship year and see you around. Michael Potts posted 29/5/07

Tony posted 31/5/07 Omigod, omigod, omigod.....! You did it, you actually did it....! Here I go again I can't see to type, someone pass the tissues. Well you four always set me off, its so embarassing I always seem to be crying around you. But its not from pain or anything like that its the beautiful sound you make - truly wonderful, sends shivers up my spine. Looking forward to hearing you again, when are you singing up our way? LOL Jo Fairchild XXXX posted 31/5/07 Although I was confident that you would attain gold this year I was still delighted when it was confirmed to me by Roger. Many congratulations and be sure that you enjoy all the trappings of your success. Good luck in America. I hope to be over to Saltash one Tuesday soon to catch up with the WEstern Approach guys. Dick please pass on my congratulations to your two lads also for their wonderful acheivement. Best Regards Barry ( Lead) posted 31/5/07 Hey, guys, did you realise that Cap'n Jack Sparrow has heard of your fame? Check out the lastest movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean at Worlds' End" for the magic moment when he names you! Hollywood beckons........... Love, Delyth xxx posted 3/6/07 Guys, Well Done and many congratulations on a great job in Scarborough from all of Evolution !! Welcome to the Club. Looking forward to singing with you in Denver, lets show em what we're made of. Tony, Mike, Stuart & Geoff posted 12/6/07 Peter, Keith, Andy and Dick, Thank you for a great week at Harmony University! I enjoyed meeting you all (actually, in Southern-American-ese, that should be "all y'all") and working with you for the week in Pod 3. Drop me a line when you get a chance and put me on your "advanced purchases" list for your CD, when it becomes available. Hope to be with you again in the future and see you for sure in Nashville in '08. Keep in touch... Cheers, Gary Plaag posted 7/8/07 Myself and my mate Simon met you guys on Friday after you'd played the retirement party in Frensham Ponds. You were 4 of the nicest, most genuinely decent blokes you could ever wish to meet and you absolutely made my birthday. Your rendition of 'Happy Birthday' (captured on my phone) has been met with huge critical success (Pete, my nan thinks you are very handsome). Good luck in all your future endeavours chaps - you are i) superstars ii) worthy British Champions and iii) testament to the fact that good things happen to good people. You deserve every success possible. Adam Burrage posted 4/9/07 Dear Dick, Keith, Peter and Andrew
Thank you so much for your performance on Friday evening at my retirement dinner. It was just the icing on the cake for me to have enjoyed a good dinner with colleagues and then to be entertained by QED! The opportunity to sing with you was a bonus which was greatly appreciated – both by me and by my work colleagues who didn’t realise how good this Barbershop thing can be.
The Director-General was very impressed as you gathered (his wife too – she has an origin in Philadelphia) and I am also pleased that our Finance Director also thought the performance was extreme quality and entertainment. She is the one who really mattered as she authorised the booking in the first place?
All in all, Gents, the whole event was just the tops for me and a fitting end to my second career! To have the BABS champion quartet there too was, again, the tops and I couldn’t have wished for a more complete and satisfying evening. Your efforts in getting to the venue on Friday were superb and I hope you all managed to get back safely.
I hope the rest of your championship year goes well for you and wish you every success for the future. Yours sincerely Peter posted 4/9/07 Hi Dick, Have just spent a very reminiscent hour trolling through the various barbershop websites -the first time I have looked at them since I stopped singing back in the late 90s. I just wanted to say 'congratulations' on your quartet success at this years convention. I almost didn't recognise you in the photo, you were looking very trim !! If anybody deserved the success of QED it is you as I know from old that you are totally dedicated to Barbershop singing. I took early retirement this year and my wife and I are moving to Scotland, hopefully within the next 6 months or so, who knows I might take it up again when I get there. Anyway, congratulations once again to you and your quartet. Regards Mark Thomas posted 19/9/07 |
