Shanie

I love Derek to bits, does he have a girlfriend? ;)

My cats love your music, and so do I, keep it up!

R. Loughnane

Pure talent lads and lasses, only saw the hucklebuck video on youtube the last night and it brought back a load of fond memories from the aul showband days, keep it up and do jig on down to Galway bay and put on an aul midsummer concert!

D. Egan

I love country and western music, but I do think that Dervla has a Karen Carpenter voice and some of the Carpenter music would be a very valuable variation. I don't know what kind of dancing Derek could do, but he too has a great voice! You guys are a breath of fresh air!!

Margaret

Dervla you're the hottest girl ever! Call me if you ever make it to Toronto!

J. Pace

i love crystal swing.

Elaine

Rumour has it Mary is leaving the band - That would be awful as half the fun of Crystal Swing is the fact that it is a whole family affair. Mary don't leave - you have great talent and are an integral part of the "fun" that is Crystal Swing - dont change things The band is just brill as is

Rayo
