…I wanted to take a second and thank some lovely people. Julie, my amazing, supportive and beautiful wife. Thank you for always pushing me when I want to stop, for being my anchor when I get caught up in the storm, for never wavering in your support of this crazy dream and for always bringing me back from the darkness. I love you. Theo, my brother, for always being up to listen to songs, talk about them over a beer and for knowing what I want out of the songs sometimes before I do. Dean for agreeing to help me with this crazy project and capturing me in a way we didn’t think was possible. The lads at 5 Paddles for always making sure I’ve got a beer in my hand, a smile on my face and for making some of the best damn beers I’ve ever tasted. Jeremy and Mat for letting me borrow some of your magic to make my song better. To everyone who has come to a show, shared a beer with me, bought and or supported the music in any way or housed me on the road. And to Doris for showing me that there is always an alternative to the norm.

Sincerely, your friend,

Rory
