I´m astonished by the lyrics of your songs, Foy. Keep inspiring me! Thanks a lot! I´m Brazilian and hope to see you here soon.

Foy, Really enjoyed your show last night at Jammin'Java in Wash DC (I sat front/center). I can't begin to tell you how many people I told about your music (especially the opener!). I think you should get booked on our American "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" or "Saturday Night Live". That would break things open for you - - you are one extremely talented musician. Joe

Foy, I saw you at the Bedford gig and couldn't have been any happier. Table front and center. I have listened to you for about a year now but that was the first gig I made it to. Certainly not the last. My mate Conner from near Belfast turned me on to you. He said you use to play down at his local pub. Sorry that it wasn't my local. Thanks for telling your story.

Foy.. I must say that your music is amazing!! I've been listening and watching your movies and songs on your site, and I want to here more! Even though I've seen them a thousand times, I can't stop! You're music and the way you sing and your lyrics makes the music perfect! And I so want your album! My friends are going to buy it when they go to england (so I have to wait some time before I'll get it). You see I'm from Sweden (so now you might understand why I'm not so good at english..)and I really hope you can play somewhere around here soon, because I would really like to see you live! Keep up the good work, because you really inspire me to create some music my self! And I hope that the song "When you walked with me" will come on an album sometime in the future. Thanks // Frida

The New album, quality. You were superb at the Cavern, that U2 song without the mic, class. The stuff you can do with a guitar, crazy man.

Hi Foy. Great to see you getting around so much. All of us in Belfast miss your magnificent weekly gigs at the Rotterdam but Chtris Roddy's got the place up and running again so maybe you and ken Haddock can do another spectacular there for old times sake. Bless you mate. BRIAN BAILEY THE BELFAST POET. PS> The rest of you out there, take care of our Foy. He's a living national treasure.

Dear Foy, I must say, WOW! Heard you randomly on Radio Ulster when I was home last weekend for "THE" Snow Patrol gig. My mate Donna was right Bangor has never been so big! It was good to see it. Gary Lightbody was praising all the unsung heros of our town and I have to say I hope he ment you too. I'm proud to be Bangorian. Looking forward to seeing you in Scotland, hopefully at the Glasgow gig. Ashton Lane is awesome, I hope it goes well incase I miss it. Add me to the mailing list and I'll do all I can to make it to a gig in Dundee, Edinburgh or Glasgow! My hat's off to you, looking forward to hearing more from you. All the best, Andrew

Hi Foy - please can you tell me the title of the final song you played when you supported Bonnie on her tour? I assume you used something like a TC Helicon VoiceLive to build up the vocals - amazingly impressive! Is the song available anywhere? Thanks for your music... truely inspiring.

Foy Vance-a photo for promotional use How do you do. This is Mamoru Hirayama from LabelNavi in Tokyo Japan. I'm e-mailing you to ask for your approval. May we carry the photo of him on our website/LabelNavi ? As we'd like to introduce him and his work to the Japanese music fan, would you kindly send us a copy of his photo for promotional use by data, not of a copy of the album art cover. We're deeply impressed by his music. His album, will become our important treasure. Above all, and are my favorite tracks. Album art cover and your label logo are already carried on our LabelNavi. If you'd like to remove them from there, please reply to this e-mail with the word "remove" in the subject line. Thank you very much for your attention to this request, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Very truly yours, Mamoru Hirayama please check ! http://www.labelnavi.com/ http://music.labelnavi.com/ PS: I bought from Amazon Japan. At first I checked a couple of mega CD-shops in Tokyo to buy HOPE. Unfortunately they all didin't have it. It was delivered to me three weeks later from my purchase. Too much time to obtain !

Just heard a cut on KGSR in Austin and was impressed, had to check out the web site. Foy will be here for SXSW and will be a hit, no doubt.

Foy, met you yesterday at the Lanois sxsw show. Wow! I'm in shock and awe....I've only begun to scratch the surface of your music and look forward to more. I should have known the unmistakable lightness of talent that you possess as a person was only a drop in the bucket of your artistic greatness. Truly an honor. I'm a fan. And, oh yeah, Lanois was pretty cool too. best of everything to ya, KC

Foy, Just saw you perform yesterday, 3/16/08 at "Drew's" in Ringwood, NJ. I think you are a "brilliant" artist & talent. It was a great pleasure to experience your amazing voice & music. I sat in the front row that evening & will be uploading some photos that I had taken on my website if you care to view @ www.naturespeaks.zoomshare.com. The ending of your performance was very emotive when you played your child's song & stood there embracing that very special moment as you ended your performance at Drew's. Very touching & heartfelt moment. I wish you much success & hope to be able to experience your talent once again in the states. My best to you! April

Foy, It is people like you that keep people like me doing sound. You are a one of a kind musician that has paid his dues to get to where you are. If you come to SXSW next year I hope I can do sound for you again. Best of luck T.J.
