Thank you, Ben & Barbara, on behalf of the Percy French Society, for another evening of top class entertainment at the Clandeboye Golf Club. Most certainly the Sands family are one of Ireland's musical treasures.
Best wishes for continued success. Ronnie.

Your music is beautiful and has really touched me. This type of music is new to me but I have found it to now be one of my favorites. You play and sing fantasticly and your lyrics take me to a softer and gentler place, away from my busy, stressfull life :) Thank you x

Hi Ben,
I first heard you sing at the Festival of the Peninsula about 3 years ago and I thought then that your singing and songs had a very special quality about them. I heard you sing again yesterday and felt the same sense of pure magic. The friend who was with me cried when you sang about your daughter’s wedding.
I am a ‘blow in’ and there have been many occasions that I have felt very privileged to live here. Listening to you yesterday was one of those occasions.
Best wishes ~ Rosie Davison.

An other poem about
"A HUG"
A hug is something
That I want to share
A hug is a touch
To show that I care
A hug is the warmth
Of holding you near
A hug is to show
That you’ve nothing to fear
A hug is for giving
A hug is for two
Nuala Phillips

Just wanted to drop you a wee note to say that I adore your song Hug for the T.V Ad...
It is such a class song and it makes you think lots of warm thoughts and just how great hugs actually are..
I heard the song 1st and fell in love with it before Ryanne ( I went to BIFHE with her ) even told me it was her dad's.. So after that I loved it even more...
Well thanks for writing such a great song.
Darren Madden

Hi Ben
Love 'The Hug' song, it has inspired my brother, my girlfiend and myself to stay in on a Saturday night and sing your song over and over again until we know the lyrics off by heart. What a great song, where can I buy it?
Thanks
Catherine.
15 August 2008

Hi Ben! Hi Barbara!
Finally got to the website: it's good! See you took Norway by storm - didn't expect anything less! Thanks for making my trip back the best ever. I thought about it afterwards. No one would have thought for a second we'd only just met. That kind of experience is rare and to be appreciated. It certainly won't be forgotten. The music's great by the way. When are you next out this way?

Are you or the whole family going to play Liverpool in 08; we're capital of culture you know!
Seen yis in Armagh in May, excellent stuff. 'Better Already' has to be one of the best songs of the 21st century. I'd ditch the sandals though. Take It easy.

Hi Ben,
My husband's grandfather was
Ben Sands.Our daugher,Cecile,
the genealogist, has traced
the familly to Ireland. I don't think there is any connection tho as my husband
Walter Lee, cannot carry a
tune in a lead bucket. lol.Ket me know if you know
of anything. Ben lived in
New Albany Indiana,and my husband and I were born and bred across the Ohio river, in Louisville (pronounced loo uh vul)Kentucky. We live in the Ozark Mountains of
Arkansas now in a place called Prairie Grove. If you
are ever over here, give us a ring.
Good Luck in your music.

Hi Ben! What beautiful, heartwarming lyrics are the words to "Hug" and what a different world it would be if everyone gave just one more hug every day. We've now framed the lyrics in our home, so hopefully any visitors we receive will be inspired to do just that! Hugs away!
