Newman issues thank you to fans for Firefest
The following message was posted to fans of the UK band Newman, throught their website:
OK, just to say thank you to everyone who attended Firefest this year would be a huge understatement !!
Once again we became witness to some awesome bands over the three days confirming why this is the UK's number one Melodic Rock Festival. Newman were proud to be there, and were truly humbled by the response that the audience gave to the band throughout their set and the entire weekend. We will have more reviews and pics to come in the next few weeks.
The guys would like to thank Kieran, Bruce, Tony, and the rest of the Firefest crew for making it yet another year which will live in the memories for a long long time to come. We met some great new friends, and some old friends alike, too many to list here but particular mention must go to Vic Rivera, Anders Rydholm, Peter Sundell, Christian Sundell, Ola af Trampe, Per Svensson, Nick Workman, Tom and James Martin, Dave Ling, Terry Brock, Darren Wharton, Jimi Jamison, Alle Martell, Steve Price, and of course our crew, Loz, Dave, and Geoff !!
We can confirm that the Newman set was recorded for a future CD and DVD release, there will be more information to come on this in the next few weeks so watch this space !!
Above all, we'd like to take the opportunity to thank all the people that attended Firefest and our loyal fans that gave us so much support over the weekend. We will be back out on the road in 2011, and we hope to see as many of you as possible again very soon.
Thanks , Steve, Shaun, Paul, Nic, and Dave
