The end of a far too short era - hope to see you at Cleckheaton, Tom. Best of luck for the tour and I hope you will continue to write, as your songs have been some of the best of recent years and should have established you as a major artist on the folk scene if there had been any justice.

I will miss you when you are gone and hope at some time in the future circumstances will allow your return to tell the stories we want to hear.

Well Terry, it's the 'final' tour - meaning 'for the time being anyway'. If I can find a day job that will allow me to commit to gigs I/we may be back some time, you never know!

Thanks everyone

That's the trouble with cutting and pasting from elsewhere! Corrected on footstompin and my own site, but can't do anything about it here. Sadly, we're not in fact going to there after all, just to that other place with a similar name, up with which my dyslexic assistant frequently gets muddled!

Depite being absolutely knackered I shall make very attempt to get to The Chimney Boy tonight.

I saw the Toms at Chester Folk Festival (well, I think it was Chester!) some years ago and they were great. It's very disappointing they're finishing.

A disappointing turnout (at Faversham), but what a great performance! Thank you, Toms, I hope that's not the last I see of you (I feel it won't be!).
