**WOW**WOW**WOW**WOW**WOW**WOW**WOW

What a FANTASTIC tour! Sorry to all of you who've been waiting for an update - things have been a bit manic since we've got back.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped to make this tour the huge success it was. Special, special thanks go to Simon and Larry for coming over from the US and braving the good old English drizzle. Huge amounts of love to both of you.

We'd also like to say thanks to two venues in particular - The Stables, Milton Keynes and Rudi's Blues Cafe, Rotherham, who looked after us all so well. Much appreciated.

Thanks also to Dave Mundell and all at The Inn At Lathones - lovely accomodation and fantastic food!

There are some pics from Lathones on the photos page and I'm posting some reviews - we welcome any pics, sound clips or reviews you have from any of the shows you attended so send these to info.freeway@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks again for your support - we couldn't do it without you.

****THANK YOU***THANK YOU***THANK YOU****

To everyone who came to the fantastic Dunelm House show last night. It was certainly one of the most memorable gigs we've ever played. You are just the best crowd in the world and Simon was overwhelmed by the warmth of the reception you gave him. What a night!

Special thanks go to Bill Bradshaw for all the hard work he puts in to promote our shows - we really can't thank you enough, Bill. Also to Neil McKay for putting us on the front page of the Journal - marvellous. Huge thanks to Lucy Piller for everything you do, you're a star. Thanks to Geoff Docherty for attending - it was a privilege to have you there. Thanks to Mike Hall for your continuing support of the band. Thanks to Jez and Chris from the Durham Student Union for working with us to produce such a great show. Thanks to the sound and light technicians - you were amazing.

Very special thanks to Arthur Ramm - you know what for!

And finally, thanks to all of you who braved a cold November night to come and support us on our first tour date. We couldn't do it without you!

*************EXCLUSIVE RADIO NEWS*************

We have an extra-special treat for all of you tuning into Freeway's exclusive performance on Paddy McDee's show tonight. A little-known track by David Elliott, featuring Paul Kossoff on the guitar, will be played for the first time on UK radio on Paddy's show tonight. The song is to be released in January as a single and David Elliott is currently in the US shooting the video. This exclusive airing is months ahead of the scheduled release. We will, of course, be championing a huge "get Koss to the top of the charts" campaign when the single's released but there's a sneak preview for all you Koss fans tonight. So if you really needed another reason to tune in - there it is!! Listen to Radio Newcastle / Radio Tees from 10.30pm tonight!!
