Hi Billy
Been trying to get you to send me all the FB's recordings on cd. Including Eventide album and then any other b sides and 12's, basically everything recorded. Can you do this? I know you have already replied to me but my e mail has been playing up. Please let me know what i need to do.
Cheers Gary

Thanks very much for the CDs, they arrived safely.
Hearing these songs after all these years, its a pleasure to say they sound as new, good and refreshing as they originally did.
Are there any other FB's songs recorded that you didn't put on for e.g. Thrill of the Kill, Union Jack Robinson and Flames are Catching Now.(or any others)
Could you possibly record another cd with these and any various solo stuff you have done.
I will send you a donation if you tell me how.
Let me know if you need the address again.
Very much appreciated
Gary

Hi Billy,
I would love to get a CD copy of the Faith Brothers.
Please let me know how I can get hold of, and pay, for a copy.
I still play all the vinyl I collected, unfortunately one of my kids decided
to pull apart my cassette of 'Eventide'
I would love to get a more portable version for the car etc, specifically
the Eventide album, Country of the Blind, Eventide (extended version)
Stranger on Home Ground and Fulham Court.
Let me know if any of this is possible.
Thanks.

Hi Billy
seen you many times with fb's not seen you solo yet , but thats because i now live in Norway, so how do you fancy trying out Oslo, great place in the city centre called Rockefellers. Both new and old acts appear, Ray Davis, Steve Harley/ Cockney Rebel and New Model Army are playing over the next few weeks. I believe you would be so well received as the Norwegians love British acts and everybody speaks English so well. Go on at least think about it

Hello, Billy.

There were two bespectacled boys in the film 'Melody'. One was a tall boy who created the bomb and threw it into Mrs. Latimer's Triumph Herald. The other one was shorter and was inn the same group with Ornshaw, O'Leary, Fensham etc. Do you know the names of the two actors (or characters), please?

Mr. X

x I want to figure out who Billy is in Melody....I recently saw the film and I love it but which one is Billy.....the only one i think looked like him is you know in the dance hall at the school disco thing....there was a boy stood next to Ornshaw telling him to go and dance....is that Billy?

I wrote to Mark Lester for an autograph for my collection and I mentioned Billy...wonder if he remembers him

That's correct, Webkin. Burgess (Billy) was the boy who was 'egging' on Ornshaw at the hop and whispering to him when Daniel is being teased in class. Ornshaw says, "Burgess says, is it too late to propose? (Laughs) I suppose you’ve got her mother’s approval. Hope she doesn’t forget to come to the wedding."

I found out the name of the boy with glasses who builds the bombs and threw one into Mrs. Latimer's Triumph Herald. His name is Dadds (Craig Marriott).

I sent an e-mail of condolence to Mark when I heard about Jack Wild's death.

Hi Billy!

I'm very new to your music, however after hearing your solo stuff I'm well impressed, as is my wife! I was just wondering when and if you were playing a Welsh show (Cardiff etc)?

All the best
