Hello Ben!
Haven't heard many of your songs, but there is one I absolutely love....Hugs. My Granny introduced it to me not too long ago, and I would love to learn it on the guitar and eventually sing it to her. She'd love it. My Granny speaks very highly of you and always has ur CDs playing in her house. We both love the lyrics, hugs are the best medicine, and say more than words could ever! I was wondering if you have time could you please email me the guitar chords? I have searched everywhere for them but can't find them. Thanks for your time Ben.

Hi Ben
My mum Sadie Laverty from Ardboe is celebrating her 70th birthday in Magherafelt on saturday night. She is a HUGE fan of your music especially the Hug song. Her sister Bernie Quinn has been emailing you lately as well. I was wondering if you were playing anywhere near Magherafelt or Cookstown this weekend as I would love to bring her to hear you live! It would be a great surprise for her. Many thanks.

Hi Ben,
What a night, the City Hall next year will be' jammed to the rafters' when the tongues get wagging about your brilliant show!!
It was great to see so many faces from around Crossan and the 'bridge.......I had John' the river ' beside me and you know that laugh of his ,do your heart good.
Kellie, Ryanne,Michael and Auntie Bars were a credit to you last night, and you to them.
That song about Dino I heard on Rowan Hand last week....it would fairly test the mascara...... and my favourite the cheesecake song just has that all round feel good factor !
Unfortunately Jack had a wee doze in the middle but was wide awake for his favourite ' the hug'.
Lots more sucess to you Ben, you deserve it all you always make people feel ' better already '.
Love Ally.

Hi Ben
I heard the Hug song being played on the Hugo Ducan radio show one afternoon in December 2008. I LOVED it straight away the lyrics are beautiful and so very very true we do need as many hugs as possible. I haven't managed to get a copy of the CD with The Hug Song yet but as soon as I'm better I plan to go&purchase one.(haven't been very well lately) My kids thought I was crazy going on about the song all the time&singing the chorous cause thats all i could remember but they have come to love it as well so now we are all fans.
Hugs to you&your family.

We enjoyed yesterday evening in Metar tremendously. Your wonderful stories and songs and your joyous performance left us smiling all the way home. Needless to say, the first thing we did when we got home, was to check out your site. The next, was to look up the words of To Morrow (a childhood favorite). We loved hearing the old songs and even more, your own creations (and singing along with them both). We look forward to seeing you here again soon.
