Toilets and the Reverend Green
Thursday, 06 November 2008
For those of you not on the mailing list (all aboard, we're about to depart)... just wanted to let you know that I've just released an Exclusive Download EP here on the site, featuring the songs from 'The life of the Toilet Tour Part I' and also a couple of bonus tracks for good measure. I plan to make this the start of a deluge of material that's been biting at the bite to get out into the open fields. To be honest I'm not completely sure why I've played my cards so close to my chest... Paul Buchanan of the Blue Nile, always keeps his course work to himself, and I've always admired it. He only releases stuff that he deems to be entirely worthy of release. I feel like my opinion is changing though, feel like I might just be alright with releasing an incoherent collection of songs, just so that they're out of my way, off my desk, making room for new stuff. Like pruning a rose bush...well... it remains to be seen...till then:
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ranch... I'm going to see the Reverend Al Green tonight at the Hammersmith Apollo. He played last night in the Royal Albert Hall and a few friends went along, and said it was outrageously good! I'll keep you posted....

Rory replied about 1 hour after.Enjoy Al Green Foy - if you've not seen him before you're in for a good'un. Quite the character, and of course the music is something else

Karl replied 1 day after.Foy, i'm not sure if this is the best way to contact you or not but anyway... I absolutly love your music, after reading an article about you in the Independant I got some videos of you on You Tube and then went out the next day to buy your album. The problem is that I was going to New Zealand for 2 months the next week so I missed all your concerts in Ireland. 'Hope' is my soundtrack for that holiday and I couln't stop listening to it. I got very sick while I was there and your music helped my through some of the worst days in my life. I was wondering when you might be playing in Dublin next because I would love to go. I see your shooting your Video for 'Be with me' this month so I e-mailed Mike just there!
I would love to hear back from you if you get a minute, Thanks Foy.

Glenn replied 1 day after.Foy, cheers for finnally providing me with the opportunity to purchase 'When You Still Walked With Me'... I'm not usually one for new fangled things like 'downloads!?' but for this tune alone I'm willing to break the mould. Pure genius. Keep it coming fella you're doing us proud.
Steve Clifford replied 4 days after.Hi Foy,
this stuff is amazing. I saw you live in cork last january and you were amazing. Loved every bit of the whole set. My sister got married recently and little did I know that a friend of hers whos friendly with you came to the wedding, Joan Mceldowney???hope i got the spelling right. But I told her about my love for music and I mentioned your name and she said 'im a friend of Foy'.....a this point I smiled and said 'you my might be friends with Foy but I love him...not in a gay way but musically. You understand hahaha. Anyway I love Paradise and can't wait to see you live again:) say hi to joan for me. Thanks Foy:)
