hi olga, this is kirsty from sunderland, I have been a fan for as long as I can remember as my big sister and brother used to play your songs and told me you rehearsed at the bunker on Stockton road which was right next to where I lived (I don't know if that's true but I like to believe it was) anyway I was wondering if you would ever come home to us mackams and do a gig? the Empire would be good or at the stadium, it would be great and I would buy the first ticket, thanks hun xxx

Hi there Kirsty. I think we may have rehearsed in the Bunker once. Will bear the Empire in mind! Someone else mentioned that a while back! Been a while since I was in Sunderland! Be nice to get back one day!
Cheers
Olga


Hey Olga, I’ve been a big fan ever since I was a kid, I’d love to be in your tattoo gallery some day! I have two questions for you, Sir! I was first wondering if you’ve ever considered playing in Canada? I’m from South-Western, Ontario. London, more specifically! And if it weren't for being a poor college student, I’d fly to Europe in a Second to see you guys! Finally, I was wondering if you knew of any tabs posted anywhere for your ’83 single “Alfie from the Bronx” ? Best regards, 2tonearmy.

2tonearmy Hey! Yes, of course we would love to play Canada, just one of those countries that aint happened for us, yet! Mmm alfie from the Bronx tabs, I think I might o’ seen them somewhere on the web, cant remember exactly where, I will let you know if I come across em.
Cheers

I have one burning question, Few years ago i have got MC cassette from my friend with Toy Dolls record - A Far Out Disc. Unfortunately i have lost it. After that i have decided to buy it, but there aren't so crazy speeches before song begins on CD. Is it possible to get somewhere the old original record. Remastered isn't so funny.... Sorry for my bad English.

Hey, don't worry about your English, its better than mine! Difficult to get the original record I reckon! I will check. Let me know if you have any luck.

Hi Olga, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, will you come back to the UK - especially the North East ??? We saw you at Durham in 2007 and you were fantastic and we keep checking your tour dates but you NEVER come here !!! I am sure you would sell out if you came back to your home ground again ! We are old old (and I mean OLD) fans from Sunderland (well - Peterlee, close enough!) so we hope you will take notice and COME HOME SOON !!!! We were in Frederick Street the other day and we said - aaah, "Fisticuffs in Frederick Street" - those were the days....... ....and every time I go to Ramside Hall (I do Wedding Stuff there)  I think of "Ah, Olga, a cannet"..... ...so I thought I would send you an e-mail to try to appeal to your sense of nostalgia and beg you to come back. Hope the new album's going well. Bye for now and hope to see you soon Barbara & Ian

Barbara & Ian Hi Thank you! We enjoyed the Durham show. We may get back some day, we certainly had a good time seeing all the old faces again! The album is coming along! Cheers. Good luck with the wedding stuff! Hi to Peterlee!
Take care
Olga


Cheers from Illinois in the US, Olga!  I wish that I had heeded your warnings to stay away from Fiery Jack!  Out of curiosity, I ordered a tin from the UK.  It arrived today and now I have a big red sunburn on the base of my back!  This stuff does knack!  I wonder how well your excellent song has improved their sales. Jordan P. PS, Interesting to see you were born in South Shields.  In the '70's, as a teen, I had a beautiful handmade racing bicycle called a Norman Fay, built in South Shields.  I believe Mr. Fay recently died.

Hey to Illinois! Fiery Jack is the business eh!? I only used it that once a few years back! Never again! Yip, south Shields, been a while since I was there!
Cheers

Hi,I'm Karlo from Croatia. I have one little question. Do you play "How do you deal with Neal?" often (on shows)? Thanks.

Hi Karlo You are the first person to ask about this song! We have never played it live, yet! Maybe some day!
Thank you!
