    Hi, We're about midway through our summer festivals and have been having a great time. Last weekend we were playing at the Atlin Folk Festival in Northern BC. What a trip, we had to fly up to Whitehorse and then drive south a couple of hours into BC. It's an amazingly beautiful part of the county.

Dear Band,
last year my husband and I saw your concert in Quebec City on the 4th of august during the city festival. At the end of the show we bought the cd and returning to Italy we listened to it a number of times I'm amazed it hasn't broken yet..well in sept 2007 I got pregnant, and our son Nicolas was born on June 17th..whenever I put on the cd he looks around and stays quiet and super attentive to your music..relaxes and 9 out of 10 times then falls asleep..enchanted by you!!

I wish you could come to Italy some time and have one of your fantastic concerts!!
Lots of love
Giuliana&Angelo
Ps. We made a viedo of Nick listening to your cd...amazing!
