Once again I wanted to say may thanks for a superb week in Nashville for the CMA Fest. It was a week packed full of tremendous memories and stunning performance by the stars. My highlight was definitely seeing Dolly Parton on the Marty Stuart Late-Night Jam which for me was the week's best show. Other great moments included "The Roys" performance in our hotel and I am enclosing a photo of me taken with them - what lovely people they are! Vince Gill at the The Station Inn was another highlight and thanks for ensuring that we got to see that show on the evening we arrived. There are too many other highlights to mention here.   As usual the organisation of the tour was fantastic and I especially appreciated that you were there to greet us at the airport on arrival. I sincerely hope that I will join you again in the future. Hope you may use these comments on your website.  Thanks to you both for everything.

"Arrived back safe and sound

with no undue problems.

We hope you both got back to Nashville OK and are having

a bit of a relax before the trek north to NYC.  Thanks for

another brilliant tour of

Memphis, Vicksburg,

New Orleans and the Texas

calls. The last two nights in

Austin will remain the highlights of the Tour for as long as my failing memory lasts. Proper Country Music in two quite different,nevertheless very enjoyable, venues. 

Thanks again"

"Great to see you both again in Nashville.  That was my third Fanfare and as before, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great music in a great city with great company. I was very impressed by "The Roys", one of the highlights. Difficult to pick out the other highlights because there were so many!  Back to work for me today.....I would rather have been elsewhere! Thank you for another great holiday."

Hi Joe & Carol just to say we got into Dublin at 7am and we were in our house at 8am.  Thank you Joe and Carol for a wonderful holiday.   We enjoyed everything about it. Also thanks for the VINCE GILL interview.

 

Win & Malc Marshall, Derbyshire:

Hi Joe & Carol, Thanks very much for another great holiday. Lots of high lights not all connected with the festival, First the BRILLIANT interview with Charley Pride, The Roys & Billy Yates with his big smile, Marty Stuarts late night Jam with Dolly.   The Bayou Swamp Tour, The Cornell Hurd Band,

at Blancos in Houston, The Bluegress at Flipnotics, Gary P Nunn at the Broken Spoke not forgetting Alabama coming on with Brad Paisley. Last but not least the singers in the bar on the last night.

 

Hi Joe & Carol,   Just to express my sincere thanks to you both for your efforts in organising this years Nashville and Texas trip. As usual everything was perfectly planned and no stone left unturned to ensure that all had a wonderful time. Nashville, as usual, was the main event although I am finding it more difficult to find my type of music there. However, the performances by Gene Watson, Rhonda Vincent, Billy Yates and Marty Stuart stood out. The station Inn was again buzzing with the music of the Time Jumpers.   New Orleans had an excellent Cajun club close to our hotel and Texas provided great Dance-hall and Bluegrass music with a fitting conclusion at the Broken Spoke Honky-Tonk in Austin, listening to the music of Gary P Nunn and his band.   What more could one ask from a trip and it was also very enjoyable travelling with such a group of friendly helpful people. Finally, a special word of thanks to our driver Pat, whose driving skills took the coach to places I didn't know it could reach.

Many thanks for persuading me to join you all for the second part of the holiday which I enjoyed immensely, with the love & support of you all, especially Pat & Ken (my escorts for the week) I was able to enjoy the wonderful music and dancing in Texas as well as all the other places we visited. The week ended with our Karaoke which was so dynamic it put all the lights out in the hotel !
Best wishes and safe journey home

Alice Helme, Chorley, Lancashire

Just a big thank you to both of you for the wonderful holiday we both had on your Memphis/ New Orleans tour,  What a laugh from the beginning to the end, just played the video of the last night (We have had a bribe from Tony to delete it, ) The places & hotels were great as was the company, fabulous driver with no task too large or small, adding to a fantastic holiday.  Thank you once again to you both.

Great to see you both again in Nashville.  That was my third Fanfare and as before, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great music in a great city with great company. I was very impressed by "The Roys", one of the highlights. Difficult to pick out the other highlights because there were so many!  Back to work for me today.....I would rather have been elsewhere! Thank you for another great holiday.

William Hunter, Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset

Hi Joe and Carol. Thanks for another great Nashville tour! Once again your fantastic organising gave me just about everything I could have wanted from such a tour - great hotel, fantastic tickets, and hassle free transportation (and a big thanks to our wonderful driver Pat) !    I chose to travel over earlier this year to be in Nashville in time for The Time Jumpers at The Station Inn and I'm so glad I did. It was definitely THE event of the week for me and possibly the best country music show I've ever seen! And then you arranged for The Roys to come and play for us in the hotel the following morning. Well, what can I say? A truly superb welcome to Nashville!   Sadly the general line-up for the festival wasn't the best for those who favour more traditional country music but there was still a lot to see if you looked carefully, with the WSM acoustic stage in the Convention Centre offering the best selection. And it was interesting how often I met other members of the Joe Fish Country Tour party in there!!  Other highlights for me, in addition to those mentioned, were Gene Watson and Rhonda Vincent performing together, the Marty Stuart Jam, especially for the surprise appearance of the great Duane Eddy, and the chance to see Mel Tillis at the Midnight Jamboree.   Thanks again for a great trip!

Hi Joe and Carol,
Many thanks once again for an outstanding trip. So much to do and see. Cannot pinpoint our highlights as there were so many, but to name a few, Riverwalk, The Swamp tour, The Wild West club and the Broken Spoke. Your organisation was again impeccable and with such a wonderful driver to help make it all work.  Hoping to see you next year, Kindest regards,

Colin, Maureen Hammond and Roy Holland, Milton Keynes, Bucks
