Hello,Chris! I am glad to wish You and Your family Merry Christmas, HAPPY NEW 2006 YEAR, good health and great piece of luck! Thank You ever so much for You music and beautiful songs! Three monthes ago I bought 2CD "Live in Dortmund". Before that event I knew only "The Lady In Red" and several most famous Your hits. More than two hours I enjoyed Your magnificent concert! That was amazing! I discovered for myself THE GREAT UNIVERSE- Your wonderful songs and ballades! Now I have almost all Your albums, I love them and listen very often. I translate into Russian language the lyrics and tell my children about Your songs. I really love beautiful "The Girl With April In Her Eyes","The Same Sun", "Saint Peter's Gate" and more! And I was intensely touched by songs "Carry Me (Like A Fire In Your Heart)","The Snows Of New York", "Read My Name","The Words 'I Love You'". Really You became "such a good friend to me Through the thunder and the rain". And now "You and I will be forevermore". Thank You so much! And, please, arrive in Moscow again with Your wonderful concerts!!!
Excuse me, if my English is not very good. It's my first such a long letter.
With respect and best wishes Irina, Moscow.

Chris, will you ever be doin any shows in the U.S.? especially in California??? I would love to come, even help promote it if you do. Because, right now, this Romeo is standing in the rain, and I know that I have let her slip away... That's song's been on my mind a lot lately, so I'm here to look up the lyrics, so farewell for now...

Dear chris and diane
Thanks for your Christmas card. As you suggested have been on your site and see you are coming to Melbourne soon. Why are you not coming to Sydney? If you only had more time you and Diane could have stayed with us for a few relaxing days here in the beautiuful Blue Mountains. Lots of love Marion and Trevor.

Dear Chris,

wow, you answer a question of mine again.
This year couldn't end in a better way!
On christmas morning Heike got our fotos signed by you and this morning I've got an answer.
Thank you very much and I agree, the pope could have became a greater man, if he hd done a few more things for the really poor people. So I couldn't understand the people in Rome or the world although I'm a catholic.
Can't wait to see you in Dortmund and D?sseldorf together with my friends Daggi, Heike and Laurent.

Take care and always loving you

Hoping you enjoy our letters the way we enjoy the signed fotos.

Enjoy the silent time with you family and friends and be shure, we will think of you.
Best wishes for the new year. Take care and we are happy to see you in Dortmund and D?sseldorf.
Millions of thanks to the postman or woman who carry the letter to Chris. May you have also a very special Christmas.

Hey Chris,

How exciting everything was !!! I really must tell you something!
Today, one day before Christmas, we weren?t really given lessons in school, so we went to the radio station in Bad T?lz not far from our school. Original because you got mulled wine for free, needless to say that everybody wanted to go there ;-), and we got to see how everything works and so on. It is only a very little one and actually they have never had so many people (20) inside their two small rooms (imagine how crowded it was). Guess what happened, for we all already were there every single one of us had to speak a few words, our name, favourite song and of course that our favourite transmitter would be ?Radio Alpenwelle?. We got a list of some songs and artists and had to choose one of them. In fact I didn?t know them at all, so I was only willing to say anything if I might take a song of you !!! I would have taken ?The same sun? but I had to choose ?The lady in red?, how could it be else ;-), and excitingly called your (one and only, beautiful) name. As a matter of fact I am a big coward but, you know, for you I actually do everything... !
There you can see how a ?survey? looks like, you just get a note and must tell what they say. But I?m not silly, I actually don?t say that a song is my favourite one when I don?t know or don?t like it at all ;o) !

Even there have been a lot of autographs of popular people on the wall, I looked around but no one of you. Apparently you haven?t been there, I suppose, it?s too small :-)))).

Have a nice Christmas, a happy New Year and maybe also great holidays (?). I don?t know if you will go to Mauritius this year again... Hopefully you already have got our Christmasbook by now.

LOVE,
yours Julia (18)

Hi Chris,

now It?s time for a break and for silence moments. I hope you can enjoy the christmas time with your family.
To take the chance to listen inside what we feel. Not all thinks seems correct but this is the way of life.
We can try to make this world a little bit better. Everyone can do this.

Take care of you and your family.
I look forward to see you next year in germany. Together with my best friends Laurent, Steffi and Heike we will visit your concerts. And we are full of emotion for this time.
So I wish you the best but you are the best for us.

A big hug from germany

Bonjour Chris!

Un tr?s Joyeux No?l ? toi, Diane et les enfants.

My husband and I were at your concert in Ottawa on November 12th. What a night! Tout simplement fantastique! Mer?i pour les souvenirs.

My husband and I are leaving the country for a few days today, therefore we had our little intimate Christmas soir?e last night and exchanged our gifts. I had asked him for the Road to Freedom DVD OR the Live In Dortmund CD. Well he gave me both. So we watched and listen to your DVD last night and... *Sighs* :-)

We truly enjoyed your interview, also. You iron your shirts like a pro!

May the New Year bring you all love, peace and joy... And a lot of health.

Tu reviendras nous voir ? Ottawa et au Canada dans un proche futur, n'est-ce pas?

Goodwill, peace and love to you from James and I.

Dominique.

Dear Chris de Burgh,

only two nights to sleep and the Holy Night will be. I like this fiest very much and I'm just dreaming from a white christmas with much snow. I don*t know how the Irish like to celebrate christmas, but I have seen at my laptop, that you will sing your "Songs of Praise" on BBC 1 to new years day. Isn't BBC an English broadcasting-station?

I am here in Germany and I cannot get BBC on television or radio. How can I get the chance to hear you singing "Songs of Praise" too? That would be one of my wishes for christmas to hear and to see you singing.Can BBC1 send this songs to one of our transmitting-stations in Germany, where I can hear you on newyearsday? Perhaps to the television-program Arte. And I would wish for christmas to get an information at which time of the newyearsday your songs will be send.

Just one thing I'm thinking about: Did you ever had the idea to take old english christmassongs and sing them on a CD? Sorry, that I am so silly about this broadcasting-stations-tecnology.

I would like to share this christmasfiest with you and that is the reason to send you a very old christmassong from Germany, which always brings us in a good mood:
---------
Leise rieselt der Schnee
Still und starr ruht der See
Weihnachtlich gl?nzet der Wald
Freue Dich s'Christkind kommt bald.
---------
Bald ist heilige Nacht
Chor der Engel erwacht
Horch nur wie lieblich es schallt
Freue Dich s'Christkind kommt bald.
---------
In den Herzen wird's warm
Still schweigt Kummer und Gram
Freude des Lebens verhallt
Freue Dich s'Christkind kommt bald.
---------

Best wishes for christmas Chris and for your family, wherever you are this time!

Hello Chris,
First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your Family.

And with Christmas just two days away, Your song "A Spaceman Came Travelling" has received quite a lot of play at our house.

It is also great to hear that you will be performing in Melbourne at the Hamer Hall in February.
I can't even begin to tell you how exciting this news is.
I certainly look forward to seeing you there in concert.

Once again thankyou so much for your wonderful music, and also for taking an interest in your fans, especially the MOTL section.

Best Wishes Julia.

Hi Chris! I am pretty new to this web site although I have been a fan since 1983. I had been sulking because I was jealous of hearing about all the concerts that I could not afford to go to. So it pained me to come here, but now there are so many great features like MOTL, etc. so I keep visiting. You are my Chris de Burgh how could I not! I was at your concert at Marriott's Great America in Northern California in 1984. I was 14 and it was my first concert that I had ever been to. There are so many things that I want to say, but I'll keep it short for now and wish you and your family a Wonderful, Merry Christmas! I was practicing my French tonight at a Christmas party with my new friend from Africa so I say... Je vous souhaite(sp?) un Joyeux Noelle et une bonne annee! We had a wonderful time of drinking red wine and singing international Christmas songs around the piano. I think I massacred the Polish! Anyway, I will write again because, like so many, I want to share with you how through your music you have reverberated within my soul.

Ola Chris and Fans,

first of all merry Christmas-Time and a happy and of course successful year 2006.

I really love this site and of course I love the MotL Section. I am not sure if someone recognized this before but Chris was answering the 4th question from Chris R in the actual section. Is it because Chris R is asking sooooo many questions or Chris de Burg is just answering to thoose he knows very well. In fact I am a little bit sad that my questions weren?t answered so far... Any other thougts about that???

Love from Thommy

Hi Chris

I was at your concert at Sasolburg in 1998. It was the most wondeful experience. You then said that you would be back the following year. What happended as it is 7 years later and we are still waiting. My husband was not with me at the time of the concert but our special song is "Lady in Red". We hope to attend a concert of yours together soon!!!!!

Dear Chris,

I was on the concert on 17.nov. in Montr?el and since then I appreciate you even more.What touched me the most is your simplicity and humanity.I am from Bosnia and I know too well,what hell is to be in the war.While listening a song "border line" I had tears rolling on my face,but not because I was sad, it was because there is a hope for this humanity thanks to people like you. I wish you a lot of years singing amazing (simply human)songs.Radmila

I am feeling very sad and nostalgic on this 25th anniversary of John Lennon's tragic death. Q-107 in Toronto is having an entire tribute day, today and I have been shedding tears and remembering all day. For me, this was the same as for those a generation ahead of me when JFK was killed. I remember that I was in my room listening to Q-107 on this day, 25 years ago too, when I was shocked with the news. I was just 15 and can't believe that my daughter is now just a year younger than I was at that time. It is also a bit strange knowing that I am now as old as John was when he died. I just wanted to let you know that whenever they have played any of the Beatles' songs today, that you played at your concert in Toronto recently, I at least smiled a little to myself when I remembered the fun time we all had with you that night. I know the point of today's tribute, "The Dream Never Dies" is to celebrate the life (not death) of John but I feel sadder today than I did then just for the fact that it was such a horrible, tragic loss of one of the world's great story tellers. I'm a music trivia junkie so I have enjoyed that part of today's tribute, as sad as it has been. Thank goodness for the technology that allows us to listen to all you wonderful musicians whenever we want to. I don't mean to be so down, I'm usually a very up-beat person, I just wanted to share these thoughts with all the rest that are feeling mellow today too.

Dear Chris
I don?t know how to explain my feelings about your music. When I was very young gilr my dad used to translate me your songs instead of telling me a fairy tales for goodnight. I listened to them an I wondered how positive must be a man who had wrote them. Now I?m old enough to translate them by mysealf. I listen to your music and still feel like a little girl. I belive that someday you would come and visit Poland, so I can see you not only on my DVD concert, but live. Your music is very important part of my life. I wish you all the best, and I still belive that someday my dream about seeing you will come true.
I will be waiting for you here, in Poland.
Love

Hope you can fit Canada and especially Ottawa into any up coming tours.

Thanks again for the great music.

Sorry that I'm so late with another thank you - I was on a short break in Scotland! :-)))

Once again many thanks for answering my question on MOtL about the Grand Prix.

I was especially interested in your comment about racing on a personal level.

Maybe though one day we'll see you on the programme on T.V. where celebrites are invited to do a circuit after instruction with 'The Stig'? :-))

From the heart!

Dear Chris - man on (the) line,

I love reading the Man On (the) Line section (= your words, your thoughts, your beliefs, your remarks...).

The explanation of "Here Is Your Paradise" and also your comments about "Sailor" meant/mean a lot to me, because these are two favourites of myself.

Special thanks to you for your words (MOtL: November 15 and November 20): "...I have a lot of love to give. It's almost like my heart is very full of love and I have a lot of it to share... I love to give... also I have strength to share... people out there who need help, who need reassurance, who need comfort, well I am in a situation where I have that little bit extra which I can share and hopefully it will make people feel better".

Thank you. Yes, it works. Nevertheless missing you - "a thousand" miles away - even now.

Please promise us that you take good care.

Love, Gerlinde.

Dear Chris,

in your first MOTL answer to me you mentioned I should go back into the question in the earlier part of it.
Well, that's right, that I think like you sang about the children and the guns. But there is a question in it too about a lullaby which remembers me to the song "Lady love go back to sleep, dry the tears in your eyes, but....", which I have heard very often going to sleep alone here in Germany.

Times go by and I found something new in your lyrics. The song "Much more than this" and "It's Me". And my most favorite part in it to go to sleep is hearing now "The autumn-leafes are falling on this old cathedral walls, there were candles in the darkness, singing in the chor, and reading......"and the whole words in that melody in this song.

Good night Chris, sleep well and dry the tears from your eyes

Monika

your voice seems to be the same hight, and I'm sure you know the lyrics and love the song as well....

see you in Amsterdam 2006.
this will be for my dear husband Maarten. when you decided to grant me this big favour, I probably will cry the whole song......

Hi Chris,
well as you know we have just spent a fantastic week in Canada and attended 4 of your Canadian concerts. This was all made only possible by the mutual love we all have for Chris de Burgh's music. None of this would have been possible without it, so for this, we have Chris(de Burgh) alone to thank, so THANKS Chris !! Andrea, Stewart and I were shown such 'love and kindness' by Stephanie and Robert, who took us to soo many places and showed us soo many things. From the rather strange concert in Quebec City, to the beautiful waterfall we saw on the way home from there, even if it was pouring with rain and freezing cold............................we had a great time.

We even learned the difference between a boat and a ship !!!!!!!!!! thanks to Stewart !!!

The other things I will remember so clearly about the actual concerts in Canada is, the audience reaction when Chris first walks on stage....it was absolutely mind blowing.......I doubt even a German audience could top the appreciation, love and warmth that the Canadians showed to Chris, and that I was lucky enough to witness
:-)) it all.
And for definite a UK audience would never ever top that reaction that I
witnessed in Montreal, Trois Riviere and to a degree in Quebec City.

The other one is without doubt the audience reaction to Spanish
Train....whow is all I can say to that one
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lonely Sky and The Tower and
Borderline also brought similar reactions !!!

Sure it cost us lots of money, but for Stewart and I, 'this is our time ' as we have spent 20 odd years with no money as we brought up our kids. Now I intend to 'live life to the full', and am enjoying it sooo much. Would we do it all again.....of course, and basically I can't wait to see Canada again and to meet with Stephanie and Robert ...maybe again in 2007 ? but first I have to work very hard at 'work' to be able to save the money up :-(((((
love and hugs,
Chris xx

Thank you very much for answering my questions on MOtL recently!

I guess that you have a huge pile of questions! I'd forgotten about having submitted the one about the book of messages from fans that was presented to you at the Show in Dortmund just over a year ago..

Oh yes you did thank your fans soon after the show but it was still great to hear it again! It was also really good to hear that you read everyone's messages..

Again - many thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule just for us.

From the heart!

Hi Chris,

First of all, I just read about the loss you have suffered, and you and your family have all my sympathy...

Thank you for another superb show in Montreal on November 17th. I think this was your best show yet. (I would have come back on Friday night but I couldn't make it.)

Your entire show was terrific, but the old favorites really "made" the night for me. Love that Beatles medley too. What a great way to end the night!

I think that's the sixth time I've seen you now, going back to the old days at Forum. You just keep getting better! Come back soon, you will always be very special to your Montreal fans. And someday, I have promised myself I will attend one of your shows in Ireland!

Best wishes

Dear Chris,

I have just seen your Motl answer about the diffent stiles in your music and want to tell you that my first records from you have been "Crusader","Eastern Wind", "At the end of a perfect day" collected in a special Album. The years when I heard your voice at first time for me on these records were filled with them till I heard "Lady in red" on radio, but I suddenly realised that it was your voice. A long time I did not get any information about you and new songs till the year 2004, when I heard you twice in concert with the new Album "Road to freedom". Since this time I discovered more and more new songs from you which I like very much too. And through your website and the Motl I can read from you and see more how you are working and what your thoughts to different things are. I think the most of my music I hear this days is now filled from you and this is very good for me. It is like to read in a book of a famos author, collecting his work to let it be alive in my life forever.

Sometimes I have a simple question to you and try to bring it in the Motl, that I can get an answer from you. I hope one question from me to you will be submitted to you.

But first I want to thank you for this wonderful way making music readable here on the webist and looking to the answers from you about some songs you wrote, about why and about what and what you thought while writing a song.

I hope you will get this letter in this sad time, that came so suddenly. And I wish you and your family to get time to be together.

Best wishes to you all for the future
from

Monika

I believe you have been given all those great things in life for that you are a great soul, who deserves them.

I like the songs of Chris de Burgh so much! The first time I listen them was at a friend's home. He like it, too! It's funny cause we are 13, and my mother had heard them when she was a Teenager, too! The songs from "Man on the Line" are for me very important for me. I love the boy :)(the one I listened 1st time) and so I realized that his is very (I don't know the right word!:emotional) emotion and romance. The song I liked most is ectasy of flight! Thank you, Chris, for this songs and this feelings!!!

I saw Chris in concert on November 11,2005 in Toronto. Remembrance Day. In Canada we remember those Canadians who fought and died in the terrible World Wars. I detest war. I love and remember your songs Chris that are anti-war. *Borderline* was so moving. At the Roy Thompson Hall, I sat just to the left of center, in the little second row of five seats. (Only two seats were in the front row). Chris, you came off stage and sang right in front of me. I was wearing a white t-shirt from your 1986-87 world tour. All I could do was stare and listen. A lady from the back ran down the aisle and hugged you. I wished I could move. I have been to four of your concerts now, but never so close. It was 18 years since I saw you last. 8 years ago I had two of my favourite songs played at my wedding: *In a Country Churchyard*(real setting) and* Satin Green Shutters*. I am a person of variety and it seems that you are too. You really surprised me during the last 15 minutes of your 25 minute encore, singing Beatle songs. I love to dance though and you got me bopping. Your solo concert was very different for me. I had a good chance to let you know that you have been my all time fave singer for 22 years and I missed the chance. I missed many concerts of yours during the last 18 years because I never went on the computer much. I now know how to keep track of what is happening with you. I WOULD REALLY LOVE IT IF YOU CAN KNOW THAT I WROTE THIS. THANK YOU for making a good difference in this world. Your fan, Vicki

Dear Chris:
I introduced my wife to your songs 15 years ago and since then we have both been great fans. We drove from Boston to see your Montreal performance on November 18, and what a treat it was. The show, the song for Eva Cassidy (without music) your interaction with the audience, your french and even the jokes were all awsome. Come back soon.

Hi Chris,

Well this beautiful week is now finish ;-( Guest good thing do come to an end even if we do not want to.

I want to thank you for the wonderful concert I saw. The shows in Montreal are like always the best, the atmosphere is incredible. But this week is was not only the shows that were great. The people I was with, the experience we shared, the things we did all together. All that because we share something in common: the love of your music, your songs, your lyrics, your shows.....

So please don?t stop and continue to sing, continue your tours and continue to write your beautiful songs. On my side, I will continue my support and continue the friendship that is now more that a Chris de Burgh song.

Hope to see you soon again, in Canada, Germany or UK ;-))) et f?licitations encore pour cette belle tourn?e, pour votre g?n?rosit? envers nous,

I'm very sorry to hear the loss of your mother-in-law. It must be very hard for you, Diane and the children. My thoughts go out to you...I was listening to Say Goodbye to it all (Live in Dortmund) when reading of the loss...I couldn't do anything about a tear falling from eye.

I bought some tickets for the concert in Amsterdam next year. I can't wait to see you again...neighter can my mum.

Best regards from Holland,

Dear Chris.

I have been a fan from the beginning, since Patricia the Stripper and Spanish Train. Your music has always meant alot to my husband and I. My husband actually saw you when you opened for Super Tramp.You have been a part of our lives for so long, that when it came to naming our son 17 years ago, we chose the name Christopher. To us you are a story teller, when you sing the words, we see the pictures , we are there. My favorite song will always be "Lonely Sky" and my husband's is "High on Emotion". It was unfortunate for us that we were unable to be at the show this week, but we were at the show you did at the Olympia Theatre two years ago and we have had the pleasure of being at all of your past shows in Montreal.Thank you so much for the music and the memories. Iwould like to know if it is possible to get a autographed picture for my husband, I think it would be a wonderful gift for him.
Thank you again for the wonderful music you have given us.

Great show Thursday night (Nov 17) at St. Denis, in the very building where I met you in the men's room at the premiere of Beatlemania (now Rain) in 1979 - a week or two before your Place des Nations show. (There truly was magic in the air that night - a lot of it.) I have been to several shows between the two, and never heard you sing anything from Far Beyond These Castle Walls. My favourite song is Hold On (which sustained me through a series of misguided relationships, but that's another story...), and I would love to hear it in concert just once. Maybe next time you're in Montreal.

Dear Sir,

My condolences for your recent loss. The lyrics of your songs prove that you have the wisdom and the words to help your family and yourself through this time of sorrow. You have now your very own angel that will watch over you and your loved ones.

Thanks for the lovely evening (St-Denis Th??tre)... again, your are outstanding. I had the pleasure tonight to have my daughter of 16 meet a one of a kind accomplished artist. I am so glad that she may now listen and feel in some other way (her own) your songs just as I do. She now has an idea of the man behind the cover of a jewel case & tray. "Songbird" was simply divine in an a capella version. I think you wanted it like that and my daughter Claudie thinks that you prefered the guitar that was being harmonized instead of the one in replacement... is she right?

Finally, thank you for sharing your life in words and music.

Dear Chris,

My name is Laura and I am 14 years old.

I would like to say that your music is fantastic. The words and passion that you put in your music are sensational. You have very deep thoughts when you write your music.You are an idol to me because by singing you are sending a message to all of us. For example, Borderine. I listen to that song over and over again.I agree, we do not need war and your song has alot of meaning to me.

I went to see your concert on the 17 of november in Montreal. It was amazing! You have an extraordinary voice and I admire your music as a 14 year old. In every word you sing there is a form of magic that grabs my attention. You have been a very big insperation to me. Your music frees me in a way that no one can understand. So many emotions come into play by hearing certain songs.

I learn to appriciate everything around me with your music. Hopefully you have alot more to come. I hope to hear more of your music. It touches my heart as it does so many others.
Keep the rock & roll and the stories alive!!

My deepest regards
Laura Camplani

They helped me through many bad days. Most of all the album "The Road To Freedom" carried me through the last year when my son got a bad disease - and "The Journey" and "Little Angel" do help me now after my Kevin died. I just wanted to thank you for your help.
yours sincerely

Dear Chris,

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die."


I hope that these words, written by Mary Frye, can help you a little bit during the hard times you are going through at the moment. I can imagine how much this loss hurts you and especially your wife - I have lost my mum in 1997 and my father-in-law 2003, so I know what I am talking about. However, I wish you success for the last concerts of the Canada-Tour and that you will be able to enjoy them at least a little bit. May your audience carry you through these times until you return home.

Best regards

Ilka

I have not had the chance to see you live but when the opportunity came up this month I couldn't resist taking my wife along for a very romantic evening. Thanks for the music, the words and emotions each one seems to bring out in me. All the very best in the future and looking forward to your return to Canada's capital. A fan for life. Gary.

Dear Chris:

I have been to all your concerts in Ottawa since 1988, but I have been listening to you before then. My husband and I have all of your albums. This concert, I have to say was the best one yet. We got to sit right in the front row centre. I got tons of pictures, but the one I cherish most is the one I have taken with you. Thank you so much for that!!! Thank you also for the hug you gave me at the end of your concert!!! You are my favorite artist, and I could easily listen to you all day!!! I hope you come back to Ottawa soon!!!

I would also like to take the opportunity to give you and your family my condolences on the recent passing of your Mother-in-law. It must have been very hard for you to put your all into your concert and you did, maybe even more so.

Bonjour, cher Chris

Merci mille fois pour la merveilleuse soir?e ? Ottawa, Samedi. Tu es tout simplement fantastique! Tu reviendras nous voir, n'est-ce pas?

My sincere condolences to you, Diane and the children. May the memories comfort you all and may the spirit of your mother in law live among you like an ever dying flame.

Je me donne un mal fou pour d?couvrir les mots que tu chantes ? la fin de "When Winter Comes". Les premi?res fois que j'ai ?cout? cette chanson, je croyais que tu disais "Think of me when winter comes". Maintenant je n'en suis plus aussi certaine... Et mon esprit fonctionne a 200 km/h pour d?couvrir ce que ta tendre et chaude voix dit.

With hopes and dreams of seeing you back in Ottawa with "The Storeman Tour". Never forget that we love you lots and are always looking toward to "La prochaine soir?e avec Chris De Burgh". Oceans, mountains and kilometers may separate us physically, but our hearts are always with you.

Good bless you, Chris et merci mille fois!

Just wanted to pass on my sympathy for your family's loss. You have such a strong spirit to be able to "Carry On". My cousin died suddenly last year in Calgary at an early age. He introduced me to your music back in the early '80's and we both felt connected through our love for your songs. "Carry On" is my favourite and helped me through his passing. Your words are inspired and uplifting to us all. I know you have great faith and will be with your loved ones "Up Here in Heaven" one day. Thank you so much for the amazing show in Toronto. My husband spoils (or sometimes the word is tollerates) me and got us great seats in the 6th row. I enjoyed every minute of the concert, I could listen all day (thank goodness for CD's). Take care and take our love home with you for yourself and your family.
Always a fan,

What an amazing night! Your Ottawa concert was the most intimate, amusing, wonderful evetn I've ever been to. I grew up listening to my "big sister" talk about Spanish Train and Patricia and in my late teens I started listening to your music. Your music has always mezmerized me but to be there in person to listen to you...just you and your instruments...was truly spectacular. I couldn't believe how your voice could fill the room and vibrate through my head. That you are so interractive with your fans is great...you walked right by me at the end of the middle section (I was the one frantically trying to get my chair out of your way!). A superb evening!
I have a ton of pictures from the evening that I will cherish.

It truly was a wonderful night and my heart goes out to you all, Chris was amazing, to continue on, giving so much of yourself to all of us when your heart must have been breaking for the loss of Diane's mother and not being with the ones you love at such an important time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Friday night was truly a magical party, the music was great, Chris, was in great voice and looked fit and gorgeous. It was touching to see your kindness to the children who came up to the stage and the wonderful time had by all, hearing old favourites and the wonderful encore songs, it was hard to say goodbye. Continued success to you, I'm already hoping for a return visit. God Bless!

Dear Chris~
With heartfelt sympathy for your loss, and deep gratitude for the many sacrifices you make for your loyal fans. Know that our hearts are with you and yours. I was the one who gave you the Teddy Bear from Wisconsin and the card at the Toronto show. Every time you play in Toronto (or London), it's a wonderful excuse for me to come up to Canada and stay with old and dear friends. Looked for the little restuarant you recommended on the corner of Sadina & College...no luck (there was a Burger King??). Also, there was a wonderful blond lady sitting next to my friend and I who kindly said she would email me some photos....I ran out of film after one shot!! (had a 12 exposure, NOT a 24...urg!) THANK YOU SO MUCH... I can't wait to see them!! It was an emotional night for all..

Dear Chris,

Unfortunately you didn?t get my letter for your birthday because it came back to me :-(((((. I just want to let you know that I tried to send it again now and hopefully it will actually be arrived when you come back from Canada.
It?s VERY IMPORTANT that you?re gonna get my message this time!

LOVE

P.S.: I feel great sympathy with you because of your mother-in-law. You know, I love you so much and I don?t want you to be sad... now I?m really sad because you are sad... I?m very sad for you because exactly now you can?t be at home and certainly you are feeling very lonely with your sorrow... and your wife, too...

Chris:

Tonight was a magical night, during your intimate concert here in Ottawa. The ambience was amazing. I sat there, as if part of a huge family, mesmerized by your voice, with my twelve year old daughter at my side. Five rows up, dead centre, eye to eye with you as you manned the microphone, I closed my eyes and drifted away into "yesteryear". I fondly remembered times when I would listen to you with good friends...Dave Ellis, Anna Ritchie, Gord Fanning and Ed Brooks, at my side, back in the days of 1979. Time has been oh so good to you and your voice. Congradulations!
The years have passed us by, but the magic is alive. It lives in your voice.
It was a pleasure for us to be a part of your Ottawa experience.
Come back and visit us again, friend.

My sincerest consoldences go out to you and your wife on your recent loss.

Take care,

Dear Chris, thank you for a truly AMAZING concert in the Roy Thompson hall last night. As usual, you had everyone shouting out "MORE! MORE!"

Thank you too, for being an inspiration and so uplifiting during this (what must be a quite trying for you) time. The fact that you haven't allowed SARS, the avian flu or personal loss to keep you away from "Tronno" is greatly appreciated.

You're in our prayers - hope you carry on making wonderful music for many years to come.

Thank you Chris, for yet again, another memorable evening. Having been a long time fan ('77) it amazes me the dedication you show to your music, your family and your fans. I was moved very much by your beautiful song to Dolly, Diane's Mom. My heart goes out to you and your family in this time of sadness. The words and music you have always expressed hopefully will help comfort you all in your time of loss. We will all meet again one day, in Heaven.

Dear Chris,

this evening I have seen a message in your guestbook that your mother in law has passed away before your concert in Toronto. I feel sorry for you and your wife and children about it. I hope for you all that your canadian tour and success with your new song will give you hope for the future and the power to continue in life what you have begun. I'm sure your friends and fans will help you through this sad time from all over the world.

Hi Chris,
I was at your Toronto concert last night, and was so deeply touched by you sharing the passing of Dolly. The whole evening felt dedicated to her. I lost a very dear friend a month ago, and have been unable to shed a tear till last night. I cried with you and sent you Reiki to help in your healing. Thank you for helping me feel. Besides that, your concert was beyond words, out of this world. A friend said you were giving a concert in Britain in Feb 2006, I get airline passes, and am coming. Thank you for being in my life. I met you in Calgary about 8 years ago, I was fortunate to have a kiss on the cheek, which is still there. Your soul shines for us all. Blessings to you and your family.

Chris,

My wife and I were at your concert in Toronto last night, and it was, as usual, an incredible show. When you shared your new song, "Through These Eyes" with us, well ... there are no words. We'd like to offer our condolences to you and your wife, for your loss, and to thank you for going on with the show.

For those that weren't there, Chris' mother-in-law passed away the night of the 10th.

I was at the AMAZING Chris de Burgh concert last night in Toronto, Ontario at the Roy Thompson Hall. WOW! The best sound I have ever heard ... and I have been to his last five concerts. He was humurous as always. I forgot my camera and was wondering if anyone has any photos they could e-mail me. Thanks.

I attended your performance in St. John's NL on Nov. 9/05. Once again it was quite amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I had not previously heard your new material. I especially enjoyed your walk through the venue as that gave us a better chance to get a glimpse of you. Best of luck to you in your future endeavours. Look after that wonderful voice.
