I thought we were already friends, too. In fact, I wondered why hadn't heard from you! It's been so long. All is well with me. Planning this year's festival and doing some gigs. I don't get out much, but this year I'm busier. How have YOU been, mate?
Yep - I saw you using a telephone receiver at last year's fest - and I loved the sound. So when I laid my hands on one I knew what I had to do.
Thanks for checking out my vid. Great to see you at the festival - top album :)
Hiya Redd! I'm great thanks!
How the hell are you after your fantastic journey?
Have you recovered yet?L.O.L.!
I don't think I'll be able to make the festival this year :( but
I'm working on it :)
How's Switzerland treating you? Looks fantastic from the pics I've seen!
See you later mate!
Keep on doin' what your doin'!
Colin
Mate,
I have only just found your message. Gutted. I would have loved to have seen you on your way in your tractor. Sounds pretty crazy indeed. Any particular reason or is it just for shits and giggles? Who is filming you. I'm really sorry i missed your comment as that would have been great. We could have had a banjo hillbilly freakout in the back of it.
Hello mate, cheers for getting in touch. it has been a while! Hope shit is good up there. Busking in sheffield is fun, but i am afraid it is only with the banjo, not a cbg. now all i have to do is build a banjo cbg... do you think John will let me into the festival with it?
keep well redd, any gigs coming up?
the best place in chur for this would be "werkstatt", cool place and they have live acts all the time there...i'll be mainly promoting the event at my university but def. to all blues fans...and so far i know the people that run the place do all the promotions anyways...
i am not sure who else could come...have been looking around...i know there is a talented guy from germany that does gigs...but i don't know his name...however if you know anyone who would be able to come and who would like to perform please let me know...
alright, have a good day.
oh by the way, my granddad is getting 80 so the family is flying up to yorkshire on the 19th or so as he lives in wakefield...perhaps we could have a little get together..? not sure that i can make it as i am still in canada at the moment...
cheers
Hi Redd!
Wow!! Thanks!! I've actually won something!
Is the cigar box the one you mentioned that your Mum bought you in the Radio York interview? I went on that bit of info and studied your photo's and vids!
I'm looking forward to hearing the new album (love your work),I will send my address by private message.
Thanks again Redd!
Colin
p.s.I live in Mexborough, about half way between Doncaster and Sheffield

Where has BluesBeaten Redshaw gone?
I find no reference of his whereabouts past 2015.
Anyone?
See if you actually granted my add request. It still shows my request unanswered. Thanks, brother.
