Hello, I recently picked "We're Mad!" and I have to say, I adore it, the guitar work is awesome, not to mention the bass and drums as well. So I went to check out your website after a friend o' mine told me about it, I was impressed, very impressed. After checking it out for a little while I stumbled across the "PLAY GUITAR WITH OLGA" section, "Could this be true?! Olga.... teaching me to play his songs?!" I said. Yes! it was true! I love your lessons, great teacher, but lets get down to brass tacks here, my question is, where did you pick up your guitar! I love it, the colour! The style! Its great!

Hello, what's up?!
I don't know if it's the email I can ask it, but anyway.
First of all, I'm one of the biggest fans you guys have here in South America, Brazil to be clear. And I'd ask you Olga, one thing. I know you're coming to Brazil soon, and I got the ticket cause I won't lose this gig for nothing, even if I die before this one, I'm gonna be there... Here's me "wish": I would wanna know, how much is, and if it's possible you bring to me OUR LAST DVD? Cause there isn't none of them here yet, or forever. So please, hit me back even if you won't bring the DVD. But after all, try to do it for a fan.
Thanks Joby.

Hi, Neil from London,
I have all your CD's, but as you know there are some early tracks / b sides etc that are currently unavailable on CD, any plans to issue them, or maybe post them here as downloads.
PS don't worry about the turtle song, we can all live without that one!

Hi Olga met you and the lads after the Lucerne gig in Switzerland last year (the Irish folk!) it was great to meet you and you were all very nice the gig was great too.
Our Last Album? is very good
Just wanted to say thanks for so many years of great music we still have the CD's to listen too, and enjoy your retirement from THE TOY DOLLS! Best of luck with your new projects!
Do you go to many gigs in London will you go to see the Fingers this Xmas?
All the best
John

In 1982 I spent many nights following THE TOY DOLLS to places such as the Smugglers at Annfield Plain, when the line up was Flip, Happy Bob and your good self. I then joined the Police Cadets at Durham Constabulary where I used to correspond with you by letter, to find out about gigs etc (I still have them in a scrapbook). To my surprise you released a song called PC Stoker - which has a very strong resemblance to my name Stokoe and obviously at the time I was a police officer (and still am) is this all just a coincidence or was I some inspiration for the name.......I've wondered for many years.
Also during those early days you used to sing a song, which was a favourite of mine, called 'I Can See You' what ever happened to it?
Best Wishes
Phil

Hi Olga
I don't know if you get these emails direct or if they go to Ciaron first (They do go direct to Olga. Ciaron) but hopefully this will reach you one way or another.
When we met in Bristol I recall you saying that if you made it back here for The Dickies gig you may well be on your own and up for a few beers.
If you cant make it or your with some mates, no problem, don't feel obliged to ring, Bec and I have tickets for the gig and will be in Bristol early for a few beers and your more than welcome to join us.
Anyway, Hope you have a great time in Brazil, I look forward to seeing the pics on the website, (will the new red Telecaster get its first outing?)
Cheers
Dom

Just wanted to wish you good luck with the Lambrusco kids

Hey Mr Olga!
How are you?
I'm so glad that you're coming to Brazil!!!
I just can wait to see you or even meet you! I'm a big fan of THE TOY DOLLS and a huge fan of you.
I made some gifts to you and I'd love to give it
Could I have your e-mail so we can meet here in Sao Paulo?
Love
Mirella

Dear Olga:
My son Alec's (he's 5) favourite song is "Alec's Gone".
He's a bit concerned though that after all these years you are still unsure of his whereabouts. He wants to let you know that he's still here in New York City and you are welcome for tea any time. He also would like to know if there are any plans to write a song about his 2 year old brother Maxim ?
Cheers, Gary.

Hello,
I'd like to know if you're gonna make more shows around Brazil except for the ones in Sao Paulo or Pirassununga. But don't worry, 'cause you're gonna have my presence in Pirassununga (Pirassununga is the land of 'Cachaa' - Brazilian typical liquor).
I'm asking this 'cause I live too far from there.
Thank you a lot. (Sorry for my English)

Olga...I'm Brazilian.. And I'm so curiously... when THE TOY DOLLS come to Brazil.... We are very anxious to your answer...Please tell us if that is possible and if THE TOY DOLLS have plan to come to Brazil, thank you so much... Please if be possible Estipulate any right date to come to Brazil... Thank so much
PS Sorry for the grammatical errors ... Thanks!

Would it be possible to add titles to the lessons, rather than guitar lesson 1, 2, 3, 4...etc. Maybe it could be like "Idle Gossip part one" etc...? It would make it loads easier for us poor saps still on dial up. It would probably be easier to archive as well. I haven't had time to down load all of them, but if you have done "Wakey Wakey" intro or outro, what lesson number would it be? Thanks for you time. Jim.

HI OLGA, sorry to keep hassling you mate its Stevie Gee from south Wales again. Firstly I'm not going to ask you when you're coming back to perform anywhere in the UK I'm just keeping my fingers and toes crossed. Next I have so much respect for you regarding all of the song writing and playing you've ever done, and also the time and effort you put into this website answering questions from anyone who's anyone like me eh. I have every album you've ever sold, and I can honestly say there is no song that I can fault, apart from worst things happen at sea cos me dad died at sea, that's not your fault though I fucking loves you. I gotta listen to you everyday, fuck me I'm starting to sound gay. Just wanted to say I throw bashes here in my house often, and my daughter who's not even 3 pogos with me in the living room too your songs, we jump in the car (stickers all over it) and she says "TOY DOLLS DADDY..... TOY DOLLS!" I've been too busy with my "hard work" Thai wife making babies and stuff to get to your gigs. First song I ever heard was on a tape "punk mix" it said on it, pistols, crass, Buzzcocks, Dead Kennedys, (SLF)- 78rpm, they were fantastic in Cardiff a few years back, at the end of the tape there was Spiders In The Dressing Room and Nellie. Since then like I said it changed my life. Great musicians, the lyrics, haha fantastic. Always put a smile on my face!. A BIG SMILE MAY I ADD. Rupert the bear, what do you think of that song?. my heart pulses with excitement when I hear that one, its my daughters fav too. anyways, hope all goes well with the kids, and get your ass back in the uk. surprising lots of mates of mine never heard of THE TOY DOLLS before, now their starting to get a bit upset because you're not about and I've left it too late converting them.... which didnt take much!!!
loads of respect

Hello Olga
I booked THE TOY DOLLS on a few occasions in the early 80`s at Feltham Football Club and i am still a fan, just wondered if you remember those gigs ?
Steve

Hi Olga, I'm a big TOY DOLLS fan from Germany. saw u in Hamburg Fabrik last year in October i believe, great show, only the Lambrusco bottle didn't work :-)Remember?
Now my questions: on your older videos I see u playing a Gibson guitar. What's the reason u changed to a Fender Telecaster? I just started playin' guitar, unfortunately I just could buy a Squier by Fender and a 15w Marshall but its ok for beginning I believe. I like your guitar-lessons, I can play the beginnig of Fisticuffs In Frederick Street now, I'm so glad...anyway my second question is what u think about the Ramones and Johnny Ramone`s guitar style? I like them very much (dream of a Mosrite guitar) cause its easier to copy for me.. u play toooooooooooo good. Ok I wish u all the best and hope my English wasn't too bad. Sad u guys retired but I still got my favourite records Fat Bobs Feet and Orcastrated (David's XR2 is great to drive with :-))
Bye Tim

Hello! I'm in France and I can't find your (old) albums anywhere...
Is there a website where I can buy them???
Thanks Loic

Hey Olga!
I'm deeply stricken that you guys are coming to the USA like seeing you guys would make my life complete me and my friend bin trying to save enough to go out to see you guys somewhere in Europe. But its not going so well the tour is almost over and I'm not even close to having enough money.. I was wondering if you guys would EVER come to the USA? and out of all of your shows with THE TOY DOLLS witch one do you consider really memorable and totally awesome and different from the rest? well I love you for real.
Take care Much love
From Thomas (Southern California)

I have a question would you want to start a band I can play drums or bass, pretty good we would rock and it would be fun I will move to London if I have too are you down?
Arley

Hello from Croatia!
Saw you in Zagreb and then went to Idroscalo, Milano to see you again!!(and NOFX, of course)
1.Back 25 or something years ago, what was your backup plan if playing in the band wouldn't work out? What would you do?
2.Why don't you study some music theory, coz that would be a big plus to your song writing and playing!?
3.What's the point in ending with TOY DOLLS and then saying you're gonna join other bands?
This Ask Olga and Olga Talkin' stuff is great!! No one does that! That's true love for your fans! Bravo!
Good luck with your playing and everything! OI!

Dear Olga,
I`ve got two questions.
1) How are you?
2) Do you have plans to come to Munich(germany) soon?(I really hope so!)
Bye

Q: First off, we met in California at an Adicts show, when I saw the flyer, I thought it was you, so I checked online and sooner or later, "OLGA ADICT" comes up.. What the hells! That is awesome!
I've been waiting so long to see THE TOY DOLLS come to California, and I missed the show a couple years ago when you came to Hollywood...
Are there any chances you are coming back with another tour? Just tell me!!!! My dream before I die is to meet the ones that helped me pick up a guitar, and one of my influences is Olga. I must send you a track of my band playing Dig That Groove at the Cobalt Cafe in Hollywood, CA!
I'd do anything to see one last glimpse of you on stage as THE TOY DOLLS!
Please, come to California!!!!

Hope your well,
Firstly, have a superb Christmas, & a fantastic New Year. Now my question.... Why were "Livin La Vida" & "Lazy Sunday" released as CD singles? Finally, if you had the chance to play BASS with the Rezillos, would you jump at it. Merry Christmas Olga.
Cheers
Olgacrackcorn

Hey Olga, I saw you guys at Pukkelpop in Belgium (great show by the way). So i guess you know my question now: WHEN WILL YOU BE BACK???
greets Jan

Hi Olga,
this is Alex from Germany. I'm into Psychobilly / Neo-Rockabilly music and also a big fan of your TOY DOLLS. My question: Think about the following situation : The boss of a commercial record company is offering you a contract (Big Money). Your songs would make it into the charts and your video clips would be shown on MTV, etc. The record company wants you to change your music style (more commercial). Would you sign or would you give a shit about it? And another question: Have you ever played on an upright bass?
Take care and best wishes and keep on rocking
Alex.

Well thank you!! No, I wasn't born playing! Wished it was a natural talent, just spent 15 years of me life stuck in me bedroom trying to be original! Boring eh!?
However, Thank you for yer kind words!
