December 2009

Hi Olga, A friend is taking me and a few other people to see you in Paris in December. It is my Christmas present (we are getting sentimental with old age) and to thank him I was wondering if he would be able to meet you after the gig. I appreciate that it might be difficult but he would really like it. That would cheer him up no end for the drive back to Stafford.
Thanks for letting me know.
Pascale

Pascale! I guess this question come in just as the last updates were being prepared unfortunately. I really hope you enjoyed the show, sorry I didn't get to meet after the gig. Let me know what you thought! I was losing me voice, hope that didn't put ya off!

Best Regards, Lukas.

Hi Lukas, I am pleased to hear you think my guitar playing is Masakra!! I hope that's good! We played in Poland twice in 1995, we are eagerly wanting to come back! Lets hope it happens.

Hi Olga, my name's Rik and i think you guys are awesome, i discovered you by chance when i was lookin for a different sound and never looked back lo. me and my friends were wondering if you'd ever do a gig in either sheffield or leeds as they're the only places we can really afford to travel and it would be smashin to see you live as we're reallly big fans and have everything you've ever done. Please post either way fella, oi! to you all! 

Hi Rik, cheers for that! We have done loads of shows in Leeds, and Sheffield, always rockin! Thank you for your support.

Hi, i'm Ben from Paris. I going to see you soon on December the 5th. Can't wait to be there!!!! I just wonder if you guys will play some songs from "absurd-ditties" album, like Melancholy Margaret, My wife's a psychopath, Dez the demon decorator, there are among my very favorites!! Even I know you don't often play those on stage... Well I know you have to rehearsals the songs with the band long before being on tour, but I just wanted to tell you... in case of you read this message just before going on stage in Paris :) We truly need music like yours, life feels better thanks to you. Thank you so much for that! (Sorry if i made mistakes, i'm quite bad in english...) Have fun! Say hello to the rest of the band! Bye!

Hi Ben from Paris! Did you enjoy the show? Did we play any songs you like!? Your English is completely fine, don’t worry, let me know what you thought of the show! Take care

Hi Olga this is Marc from Switzerland. I was at the Winterthur show last week and as always, it was a just superb! TOY DOLLS at it's best. And this after 30 years - congratulations! I started to enjoy the show in the back part of the crowd... Cloughy (on of my alltime favorites) as the starting song, to me, was a dream come true... And as you said "My girlfriend's dad is a vicar..." nothing could stop me from jumping into the "pogo zone". After 2 Songs I was completely out of breath and I had to slow down, otherwise I couldn't sing a long anymore... So I chose singing. :-)  I'm 37, so a few days younger than you... ;-) So, my only question is: How do you do that, playing so many gigs in a row in these smoke-filled, stinky clubs even with asthma? Thank you very much Olga, for 30 year's of excellent music! See you next year in Switzerland!
Marc

Marc Hey! Thank you! We really enjoyed the Winterthur gig also I have no idea how we do it! Ha, you tell me! I love it though, always have, always will! Cheers for coming!
Olga

30th Anniversary coming up & I think it's about time Fender honoured Olga with a Signature Telecaster. I've already contacted Fender.com    And we the fans can get them to take notice & make them realise that Olga has to be honoured with his own Signature Axe....anyone with me on this?
Rich

Wow, what a nice thought! THANK YOU !
Olga

Update regarding the Olga Signature Telecaster campaign...I've set up a MySpace page for fans to join & hopefully get Fender to take notice...so spread the word...
