Please continue making music and never stopping. Finding Stornoway as a teenger was like finding a goldmine for me. It has been around 8 years and I am now 26. Your music is still beautiful and will never not be. Thank you

It is a mystery to me that this band and their songs are not more recognised. This man has a beautiful voice. The whole band is just a perfect fit.

Thank you for posting this. I just finished school and am moving countries (from Norway to Wales) to start university this September and am really nervous. I discovered Stornoway at age 14 and so much has changed since then but things have also gotten so much better. This reminded me that everything will be okay and gave me a sense of comfort and reassurance. Thank you. Ps. I’ll always carry a sadness in my heart that I never got to see Stornoway live as I didn’t have a way of coming down to England for any of their concerts, but I’m eternally grateful for their music.

Wonderful! Sadly I couldn't get to the Oxford show. But I did catch Stornoway at the absolutely blinding gig they did @ The Tram Shed in London's Tooting Broadway one Sunday night, where it seemed I was the only punter in the house, not from...Oxford! However like the rest of the Stornzey's I knew all the words to all the songs they played that night and was blown away to be amongst like minded fans of the band. Cheers lads for a blinding memory and a cracking night. Stay safe and go well.

At the time, I remember buying Beachcomber's Windowsill for my girlfriend at the recommendation of Carl in Rapture... years later I sat with her (now my wife) in the merch tent at Truck and watched you sing Josephine. And we sat in the audience for the final Oxford show at the New Theatre. Such a treat the gig is being released. Hope the band are all well

Ich schreib mal auf deutsch (I think it's better to write a few words in German ;-))... Stornoway haben mich vom ersten bis zum letzten Song berührt. So traurig es ist, dass sich die Band aufgelöst, so glücklich bin ich, dass ich sie einmal in London sehen konnte! Das größte Wunder bei dieser Band war, dass meine Frau und ich gleichermaßen liebten ;-)
