| Very sad you won't be making it to Adelaide before Christmas. The show last Christmas was great - highly festive. I'm sure we could find an interesting venue at short notice if you change your mind - otherwise see you in March! |

Dear Darren.
You owe us a Newcastle show! The last one you canned at the last minute and it was on my birthday and i'd invited all my friends and i was crushed! And ou promised you'd make it up to us on the next tour... |

Have to agree with Hannah Darren... I've moved from Melbourne to Adelaide, loved the Christmas show at the Toff last year and hope your doing it again this year in SA. PS. Nanna wants to know if you're doing a tea towel this year... the teaspoon was a hit!!! |

Hey Daz, I was writing crossly when my iPod suddenly pulled your voice out of its mysterious inner workings, and I had a wave of happy and calm descend. Then I realised, it has been *years* since I saw you last. Not sure if you're around much these days, but wanted you to know that of all the STUCCO set, you're the one I most miss talking to. But you still make me grin, even through headphones ... Cheers ears, and all the best, Donyale |

Two brilliant (small) gigs at the EOTR on 14th sept, Darren. It was also great to have met you, albeit briefly, after The Bimble Inn gig. I was the one who mentioned I first heard your music on the ‘Write Your Adventures Down CD and that I was going to see Robert Forster soon. Shame you couldn’t have supported him (and Glenn and Adele). Hope to see you next time you are over…….and maybe EOTR year !!
P.S. I could tell you were wondering what ‘Roast Peacock’ would taste like…..;=)

Dear Darren, I was recently enjoying the song A to Z, when it occurred to me that Yellow Submarine comes before Yesterday in the alphabet. Please amend and re-release the song ASAP. Could you please notify me when this happens as I would wish to purchase a new copy of Little Chills without this glaring error. Thanks, Love Bri
P.S. please disregard this email if this lyric was intentionally alluding to the fact that we should forget about the past (yesterday). nice songwriting. |

I saw your show in uralla in '06 when i lived in Armidale, but missed last year as it wasn't promoted in Tamworth. I'd dearly love to come to another one of your shows, your an amazing talent.

I have unfortunately not had the pleasure of an evening with you, and I was wondering when you'll be coming back to Melbourne?
You see, we actually have a favourite, very short, euphonium player we're dying to see in concert...
Thank you,
Courtney :) |

Darren, your show last night was great - I enjoyed it even more than the Magnetic Fields. You rock! You looked a little bit sad though. I hope London/touring hasn't been too rough on you. I hope you enjoyed the beer (I wondered if you might have politely taken it and then tipped it out in case I was a crazy stalker!)

Really enjoyed the show last night and it was a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. Thanks again for playing Video Party Sleepover! If you want to take up the offer of a place to stay feel free to just drop me a line.
Look forward to seeing you again over the summer,
All the best Ali |

Great meeting you in Heidelberg yesterday! Really enjoyed the show. As promised, I looked up Jörgensen´s Musikhaus in Düsseldorf for info about your guitar, but they don´t seem to have a website. Weird! Will bike by there tomorrow and have a look. Hope the rest of your tour is superb! All the best, Ellen |

Unfortunately that feeling went away with you...Your latest album is keeping people hungry today as well, but I do hope you sleep well :) And you should check out what we are up to in Finland: www.myspace.com/circusfolkband.

Just a couple of questions... firstly, you is it? How's elbow did you brush? i've been arguing with a friend about the possibilities for a while, please settle it. secondly, what is being said at the end of 'couch surfing', it's obviously something about finally getting a roof and four wall to live in but i can't quite hear the words.
thanks. |

You are awe-inspiring. I used to see your mum fairly regularly. But its been a long time since I visited that town. I have thought about you often in my life journey, with my children and around the world. You are true and honest. It wasnt until recently when I happened across Tracey on Facebook, that we started emailling and she told me that she had seen one of your shows. She said you were brilliant, which we already knew. I too Google you and here I am. I have asked a friend back home on the coast to shoot me out a few CD's. My son, Jake, who is an avid guitarist will love them. I cant wait to see you live myself. I have 2 teenage boys who will be dying to come along. I have sent links to your website to everyone I have contacts with, we would love to see you bigger than "Ben" so to speak. I have read your site top to toe. You are an inspiration to all. Kindest Regards Nome |

Darren have thought about soundtracking movies mate?
Like the Melb guy David Hirshfelder and Jonny Greenwood , who did a wonderous job on "There Will Be Blood"
Another hilarious turn would be to write new music for Flight of the Conchords...now that would something. Surely they need a song at least for each episode.
Themes could include bus stop romances, fairground attractions and dog park frolics. The lyrical world is your sticky little oyster.
But seriously now.. |

Hey Daz, I first heard of you when I met your sister who was living with a friend of mine in a sharehouse in Carlton. Since coming across your first album at Coburg Library, I have cherished your music and I enjoy playing your songs myself. I have made a few YouTube videos of myself covering your songs. The first two are primitively made, as they were my first goes at making and uploading a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW0uxCyDhIw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX8uFUXQR9Q but my latest cover of your songs is my 25th video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg904ugA2NU I hope you don't mind. I'm just a fan.

Hello Darren Hanlon, what a magical, gem of a concert you performed in Hobart last month! Especially thankyou for playing Ends of the City, that song helps me make decisions and feel brave. It was lovley that you didn't forget Tassie, please come back down soon. Goodluck for the New Year, from Jacquie. P.S, my little brother who only listens to rap heard me playing your music and now he only listens to rap, plus Darren Hanlon. |

| Dazz -saw you in surrogate Canberra town recently & brought along friends who were new to & touched by your music. Great night despite the ANU Bar acoustics (dunno if you remember but I was the one who snuck out in an attempt to turn THOSE fridges off, got busted). Been seeing you a long time from the Simpletons days, the Candle cameo appearances in Fitzroy, Empress gigs with Couchy on stage playing waterglasses & now everyone sings along to a song that you wrote by yourself one evening. You've come a long way, no doubt because your music talks to a whole lot of different people. My girl is studying in N. Korea, where the heat gets shut off at night along with the electricity -and without any cars on the road, voices seem louder. So those lines mean a lot to us. Especially when I come home to my empty house after big nights and it calms me. I play ukulele and will cut to the chase - what tuning to you use & can you get me started? Nearly worked it out but 3 different ways! Merry Xmas. |

I read with fear your news that you may not tour again for a bit. I have never seen you live and read the accounts written here with envy. Is there the least chance you could do a show in nothern England at some time in the future, say, somewhere between Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle? There's a little city called York that's right in the middle of these three. Maybe you could play there? I reckon I could coerce enough people to make it worth your while.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on go on go on go on go on.
Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on GO ON! |

| Have been excited all day today about your show tonight, Thanks for coming to town and bringing some Christmas cheer, it's been a long time between drinks for us Hobartians. And an insider tip, if you need a coffee before heading out of town head to tricycle at Salamanca, by far the best in town. See you tonight, can't wait. Cheers Trina |

Hey Darren, Long time since I saw you mate. God it has to be back in the late 80's. I spoke to my folks the other day and you came up in the conversation, they still see your mum around town. So i thought i'd see what happened if I googled you - and here you are. Great to see that you've done so well mate. If you get a chance drop me a line.

in the seven years that i owned rubys in melbourne, i saw more than 2000 gigs, and your last was not only the finest, but had the most enviable status of being the only time the pacman machine could be heard over the band. Which was ironic because it was your keyboard player giving it a go. I went to turn it off but he was half way through a game : then i called him a 'bad man' jokingly. He later came up and said he wasn't a bad man, and looked really sad - i still think about this and feel a bit cruel. So could you tell him i really was only joking : the whole scenario was beautiful. ps - admittedly there was 5 free credits on the machine, and you know how that feels. - pps. thanks.

| hey, to those people below who doubt darrens sickness for his newcastle date, it was definately due to sickness. When he played in sydney on 31st October his voice was all but gone and it was only cups of tea that kept him going (how very rock and roll haha). By the end of the gig he could barely say who he was let along sing a song or even introduce one..... thats what he gets for indulging i his mr T fantasies i guess :) hope to see u soon mr darren :) |

Hi All I did the sound at the recent Uralla gig, and for the first time, ever, I heard more than half of the audience singing along with original songs. Mind-blowing. Great gig. Thanks. |

Darren, Super Dooper disappointed at your no show last Thursday night (1st November) here in Newcastle. We saw you when you were here in June (we were the loved up couple sitting up front who got you to sing Lee Remmick)and you blew us away. I just hope you were genuinly sick and that it wasn't because of slow ticket sales. We feel let down! When will you be back in Newcastle? You owe us. Cheers! |

Hey Darren, Great show at the Civic Centre on Sunday dude, first time I’d seen you live and I was left speechless, 2 thumbs up(if I had a third it’ll be up also:p). Lucy and Pikelet where great, also the bloke on the piano and trumpet, Cory I think, good work would be hard to do!! Your feel good music is awesome. Thank you so much for signing the CD booklets you are a champion, best of luck for the future( not that you’ll need it). Hope to see you live again, God Bless. Terry.

Hi Darren,
I left the Gympie Civic Centre on such a natural high last Sunday...after hearing you perform live again.
Seeing such original performers like yourself is a really inspiring thing, coming from such a small town. Makes me want to pick up my guitar again.
Your new song that goes, along the lines of, "and those things will follow you" was a truly touching line - that is still stuck in my head.
Look forward to hearing more musical stories.
Thanks again.
Christine

Thank you for our efforts in putting on a show at Uralla on Friday night. Mate, it was an unforgettale experience for myself and my partner . I've been following you since the days of the Simpletons and I never would have thought that i'd get the chance to enjoy one of your shows at the bloody top pub Uralla!!
We really appreciated you soldiering on despite your oviously failing voice. We reckon you should call your new song Rowlf after that ukelele superstar Rowlf the dog from the muppets. Either that or Wally.
Thanks again for a great show.What chance of you performing at Blues and roots next year? Oh, and Pikelet was absolutely captivating as well, both on her own and belting it out alongside you. |

Thanks for a great show in Canberra on Tuesday night. It was weird being at a Darren Hanlon gig that wasn't at Tilley's! The Mr T rap was great and I loved hearing the songs I hadn't heard before live.
Another word that rhymes with Frolich, Colic (although that could border on insulting, Elli Wallach could end up an alcholic with Colic who frolichs!) He may not be so proud of having a song written about him then! Good luck for the rest of the tour and I am really looking forward to your Chrissie gigs and the rumoured new album next year.
Cheers from Canberra,
Linda |

| Hey Darren et al. Awesome show last night @ ANU (first time punter, long time listener). Your Mr T rap was as hilarious as it was surprising (yes, I was in character!) Cory's "multi-tasking" was great & Pikelet's....well...she's cute! (not to mention talented with the piano accordian, which impresses me to no end). Apart from your new cuss word of "frollic" I thought of a couple more "Walloch" words in the car on the way home....Anabolic/Alcoholic/Tulloch (wines), there appears to be a theme to those, however, I'm sure there's tens more. Was great to hear you never tire of Falling Aeroplanes...personally, neither do I. Hope the rest of your road trip is awesome, esp Gympie. Was great to spend the last night of not knowing you (in a non-creepy way). Punk's not dead!!! |

G'day Dazza, please drop by Albury-Wodonga when you get a chance. Can't get to Melbourne for mid-week gigs and there's definitely an audience when you play up here.
Cheers,
