I am British born Christian Musician and poet of Nigerian heritage. i really dig your style and I'll like to do some of my pieces with you. I've written a lot of songs but just about four have demos. They're kind of rough because of the inferior equipment we used in Nigeria( just a keyboard) but the quality is apparent. I play the guitar a bit but i sing very well. I have no genre boundaries per say but i circle around rock, alternative, pop, r&b and even reggae. Was a choir director in Nigeria and a stage performer, i'm also very good in back up singing. I'm back in the UK now and want to continue in music cos i think my destiny is large. So all said, i would like to meet you. If you don't like my work, i'll simply apologise for your time and leave. sandra tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_214/684 2007-07-27T19:22:25Z 2007-07-27T19:22:25Z I love it when you are in the right place at the right time!! What an encounter! All the better because it was so unexpected. i also love it when folk recognise that tears are just washing you from the inside out so why hide them away? Nothing beats a good cry..except for a really good laugh!! Thanks for the story..makes you want to leave a great memory with everyone you meet.

I can see it like a freezeframe movie in my head. Beautiful, man, really beautiful, and sums up the thing about life that will always shine through the broken things.

But I have just finished listening to Hope. Overwhelmed is not the word. Totally blown away by everything about. Has already been recommended to many friends, I downloaded Billie Jean from iTunes and must have listened to it about 100 times since. Definately up there with my favourite tracks of all time! Keep up the sterling work sir. Ian Peacock tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_214/816 2007-08-01T21:16:26Z 2007-08-01T21:16:26Z Hey Foy! Awesome stuff. It sounded similar to my experience of seeing you at Bury Met's theatre a few weeks ago - sounds bizarre and cheesy but it changed my life or at least, will change my life if I get off my backside and do something about it! Briefly...I actually came to see my mate Jimmy Docherty (www.jimmydocherty.com)and had never heard of you but was instantly impressed by the layering of 'tracks' on your cover of 'High and Dry' by Radiohead (one of my favourite bands I might add...) and when you hit 'Gabriel and the Vagabond', I had tears in my eyes. I looked at my mate and then looked around the room. Several people also were on the verge of tears. By the time you got to 'Indescriminate Act of Kindness' I felt an overwhelming sense of how your stories through song expressed Jesus' heart for the needy, the oppressed and those on the fringes of sociey. How the most simple of acts such as showing someone kindness, not judging them but 'talking them in' deeply moves the heart of God. I left that place, knowing I had had an encounter with the reality of God and your lyrics have birthed in me a passion to serve those on the fringes such as the homeless and prostitutes. I cannot help but cry like a baby nearly every time I listen to those 2 tunes. (the others are pretty cool too mind ;) Mega blessings to you Foy for just expressing yourself with the amazing gift you have been given. Please gig around Manchester again soon! P.s. would you mind if I covered those 2 songs at a gig I've got coming up? Thanks alot Ian Paul Duffy tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_214/974 2007-08-14T08:04:28Z 2007-08-14T08:04:28Z Hey Foy, we all have our prejudices and I guess 'the London Cabbie' syndrome is up there for all of us. Respect that you gave this guy a chance to become an individual and show his emotions, and respect to him that he connected with your soulful ramblings too. See you in Belfast man, and keep changing lives on the airwaves for us all, Paul n Helen x Sean Wright tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_214/1364 2007-09-19T21:26:08Z 2007-09-19T21:26:08Z Beautiful story.
