- Toni Webber





Just wanted to say how much myself and friends enjoyed the concert in Letterkenny last night

Superb performances from you and the band. A truly spiritual experience and wonderful celebration of Johns music. Thank you so much for this tribute and for keeping his music alive. Please come back soon.

- Eddie Gallagher





Our family really enjoyed the concert in Letterkenny last night.

I hope the rest of your visit to Ireland goes well. I am enjoying the CD just now. It really is very restful and uplifting on a wintery Friday night!

- Moira Harley





Fabulous show last night in Letterkenny - I really enjoyed it.

- Donal Mc Mullin





Just home from your concert in Waterside Theatre, Londonderry and wish it had gone on all night. Was the best show id been to in a long time.

I have all John denver's albums - Been a fan since 36yrs ago.

Hope you come back soon - You were amazing - Thanks for a wonderful night.

- Marion Henderson





I went along to the Waterside Theatre in Derry last night for a concert that had me anxious, for it could so easily have been one man and his guitar playing to the John Denver converted. But your show was so much more than this - it had heart.

Thank you and thank your band for a wonderful few hours of John's music. Thank you for putting together such a well rounded show; the graphics, the good choice of songs and the relaxed atmosphere all contributed to a fine evening indeed.

Good luck with any future touring plans... and have a happy Christmas!!

- Peter Davidson





Fantastic night at Skipton on Friday, we bought tickets for ourselves and friends who came down from Newcastle to see you - What a night!

A very moving performance and a real tribute to John Denver - we are looking where we can go to see you again.

Great concert on Sunday night 13th November. I have been a John Denver fan since Rocky Mountain High - Have most of his albums including CD's and vinyls. I thought Wayne may have sung the Eagle and the Hawk, certainly has the voice for it.

Your version of Calypso was amazing, I look forward to seeing you guys in Stirling next time.

- Dave and Jessie Smith





Wayne, just to let you know how my partner and I enjoyed our night in the little "village" of Langholm on Friday 11th. I am from just outside Carlisle while Susan is from Langholm and I agree with your description. Friendly ribaldry of Scottish and English and difference in accents although just 20 miles apart.

Hope you come again and would look forward to your Diamond interpretations, a real gem.

- Phil Pilkington





Just saw your concert in Stirling last nite - a great evening. So glad you made the trip.

Fabulous show at Langholm, brought the spirit of John Denver alive. Wonderful accompaniment from excellant musicians.

Enjoyed your show at Newton Stewart. Would come back again x

Brilliant performance at Langholm on Friday night. Loved the way you paid tribute to John Denver - Very poignant.

Brilliant guy on the drums and other guitars too!!!! Can't wait to see you again!

- Lorraine Priestley





Great show in Paignton - You really captured the Great Man! - You have definately got his way of singing! I bought the Yellowstone CD which is very good! I loved your rendition of Calypso!

I hope you visit again. Keep up the good work - Well done

- Mary & Bob Moore





Hi Wayne,

Just to let you know how much we enjoyed the show in Paignton last week - it was wonderful. I lived in Denver around the time John Denver was becoming popular and have followed his career ever since - Thank you for bringing the music alive for us again.

- Mary & Bob Moore





Came to watch you at Exmouth for the 3rd time and enjoyed the show very much. Especially loved the songs This old guitar and Today. Will see you again if you come back to Devon.

- Margaret





Hi Wayne!

My husband, two sisters and I were at your show last night. We were sat in the front row. Dayle so wanted to meet you after but is extremely shy. I'm wishing I had pushed her more - She even had her camera with her as she wished to have a photo taken with you - What a couple of doughnuts we are!

We all thought that you and the team were brilliant, and will definitely be coming back next year - try stopping Dayle. And we will truely bring others who missed out last night. The show that we attended was in Paignton by the way.

Hope to hear from you as to when you are down here again. Fondest wishes and keep healthy all of you. - Lesley Tozer xx





Wayne and Gang, Just to say thankyou for a wonderful show at the Palace Theatre Paignton - 14/10/2011. Come back soon.

- John and Margaret Brixham





Thank you for a wonderful show! I had to take along a resident that loves country and western music, James really enjoyed himself (although his throat is suffering from the yeeha's lol) And I did too. It would be great to know when your next in the Devon area and I shall come along again (hopefully with more people too) Thank you again x

- Dawn Drakeford





Was at Exmouth Pavilion on 13th Oct, Brilliant, took me back to all the jd concerts we used to go to.

Watched the concert in Exmouth, amazing, real entertainment from four great musicians. I look forward to the Neil Diamond concert next year.

- Maurice





Saw Country Roads at Exmouth Pavilion Theatre, Devon. It was fantastic!

- Deborah Palmer





We saw you at Shanklin theatre on Friday 7th Oct, and really enjoyed your show. My wife Angie and I would like to thank you for the evening and will look forward to seeing you again, (with our friends) should you chose to return.

- With Regards, Brian and Angie Manser





Thanks, really enjoyed Wayne singing at Shanklin Theatre in the Isle of Wight and have been looking him up on google and just seen his New Faces show when he did the Neil Diamond song. I heard him sing that and have it on cassette from many many years ago - no wonder he`s going to do a Neil Diamond tribute tour!

- Alexandra Bruce (known as Alex)





Seen Wayne 3 times now - gets better every time!

- Alexandra Bruce (known as Alex)





My wife & I saw your show at the Worthing Pavillion last Saturday 1st October - Great!!

-





Thanks so much for all your help with the tickets for Worthing... We had a brilliant evening and enjoyed every minute of it. Wayne is such a lovely person and his warmth and sincerity shines through.

- Sue Houghton





Hi to the crew!

I am 17 and have only recently discovered John Denver's music, and I confess I didn't know all of the songs you guys performed last night, (1st October, Worthing Pavilion) but I can honestly say I have never been so moved by a performance in my life. Bravo - it was wonderful!!! I am already planning on coming next year, even if it means I have to travel from university.

I am also emailing to put in a request - one of my favourite John Denver songs is "A Song For All Lovers" and I was wondering if you could possibly add it to your repertoire for next year?

Thank you again for such a magical evening!!!

- Love from Amber xxx





Went to see the show in Worthing on saturday night with my wife who is not such a big fan as I am but we both had a fantastic time.

The music was spot on and the background visuals were amazing. A real and fitting tribute to the great man!

- Alan Saunders





We had a fabulous evening at Plowright Theatre in Scunthorpe last Friday - bought both the CDs and loved the last track on Yellowstone - really made us laugh!

We will certainly look out for other Wayne Denton evenings - see you there

- Lynda Enever





I attended your show at Worthing Pavilion on Saturday 1st October. What a fantastic show, I enjoyed every second of it. The background video footage added even extra feeling to each song being performed.

I haven't stopped playing your CD since. I can't wait till next time! All the best for the future.

- Bill Spinks





Great show at Wothing Pavilion on Saturday 1st Oct.11 Enjoyed the singing and also the background pictures. Brought back happy memories of visits to Aspen.

Thank you Wayne

- Pam Saunders





Went to the Worthing concert last night with an open mind, as it was our first time to see a tribute act. We will be going again!!!







Came last night with dad to the Plowright Theatre in Scunthorpe. We had a fab time, you have an amazing voice! I am 34 and found it really emotional - Memories of my childhood!

- Sam Hudson





Just seen you at Scunthorpe - great evening and thanks to all!

- Andrew





Message: Great show tonight at The Grove Theatre Dunstable, thank you Wayne. Sweet Surrender is my absolute favourite song of John's and Keith likes Today so we are both very happy. The back drop are wonderful and I loved the duet too. Have put 24th Nov 2012 in my diary, see you then.

Keep up your great work singing John's songs for all to enjoy, Peace and Friendship.

- Ruth and Keith Oddie, Harpenden, Herts.





Hi Wayne,

Just want to say how much we enjoyed your show at Bournemouth. I used to run the John Denver official Fan Club, Free Spirit, in fact I named it. Since John died I have not felt able to go to any concerts so when I decided to go to see you I was a little worried how I would feel but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed every minute.

Thank you so much.

- Judy Pashley




Enjoyed the show at Brunton Theatre. Well done to all of you.

- Coral MacRury




I was at your concert at The Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh on Saturday 13th August 2011 and really enjoyed every song!

- Davie Stebbing




Great show last night at Glasgow Pavilion. So glad you have stuck to original recordings. I would hate any changes to be made. Keep John Denver's spirit alive by sticking to his original writings. Much appreciated!

- Miriam Sludden




Great show at a packed Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh. Friendly and passionate performance, with something for everyone.

- Ruth Martin




Just a quick thank you for your bands performance on Saturday at The Brunton Theatre. My wife and myself thoroughly enjoyed the evening and having attended all of John’s concerts when he toured in Scotland, it was uncanny hearing the voice and seeing the mannerisms that he used on stage once again.

Hope you can arrange another date in Musselburgh soon.

- Peter Rattray




Great Concert in Musselburgh. Come back soon!

- S Muss




Concert at Brunton Theatre Musselburgh was brilliant

- Jim




Captures the emotive purity of voice and songs of John Denver - Wonderful!

- Lou Williams




Really enjoyed your show at Fairfield Halls. You are well and truly keeping John's music alive. Thank you for your dedication.

- Evelyn Watkins




We saw your show in Bournemouth and it was top class, would have to go along way to get a better John Denver tribute!

- Rob Gaines




Thank you for a brilliant show in Bournemouth last night and for keeping the memory of John Denver alive.

I especially enjoyed your rendition of 'What are we making weapons for' ... Simply Brilliant!

- Paul Rainford




Well done for tonight's concert in Bournemouth. Wayne exceeded our expectations as John Denver, a tough act to follow.

Wonderful to hear his songs and music live again.

- Jo Welsh and Jeff King




We came to Bournemouth yesterday to see your show, it was a wonderful 2 hours of music, that we enjoyed very much.

Thank you very much. I am now listening to the CD's I bought.

- Judith




Dear Wayne,

My wife and I recently attended your show at Fairfield Halls in Croydon and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Your supporting band/singers were also great!

I have long been a fan of John Denver and still have 9 of his LP's from the 1970's. I keep a supply of his CD's in the car... Nice to turn up the volume and sing... and appreciate the words.

In 1976 (2 April) we attended a live John Denver show at the London Palladium for a special midnight show and I still have the original ticket stubs and the programme. I also have a critics write up on his show.

I am very pleased you are keeping John Denver alive.

With my very best wishes and regards and keep up with the shows...

- David Sheppard




I had a wonderful night with you yesterday at Fairfield Halls. Your perfromace was great! It reminds me of my childhood when I used to play your songs on my guitar everyday. I felt like I was in my late 10s again!

I must say I had a very enjoyable night at Country Roads! I am expecting another tour from you soon.

- Danny Kim




Really enjoyed your show at Fairfield Halls, Croydon. Enjoyed the sing along and would love to see you again the next time you come to Croydon

Keep up the good work

- Ann Hutchinson




Saw your show at Croydon for the first time and loved it! Bought both CD's! I like the concept of maintaining the John Denver songbook whilst projecting your own personality.

Superb performance!

- Tricia and Joe Gibbons




I saw your show on Friday in Redditch, thought you were fantastic! I took my dad who is a huge John Denver fan and we were both very impressed!

- Best wishes, Natalia




Hi Ria,

I just wanted to say thank you for sending me the email of 2011 tour dates.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Palace Theatre, Redditch on Friday evening. It was such a fun night and the video footage gave the whole experience something extra. We were all deeply moved by some of the video.

Well done to all of you! And particularly Wayne with his incredible voice.

- Denise x




Saw your show last night and was very impressed. I have seen the real John Denver 3 times and was bought up on him and your show was a great testament to him. Thank you for keeping his music alive!

My dad saw John 11 times and used to live in Redditch so he would of been there last night but he now lives in South Wales, a show there would make his day!

Thank you

- Andy Williams




We went to see your tribute show in Redditch last night and just wanted to thank you for such a great night. Far exceeding our expectations of a tribute act, lovely comradery between all of you on stage, very moving film footage, great sound...

All in all, a truly wonderful evening.

All the best to you for the rest of your tour

- Charlotte Bennett & Mum, Brenda 0'Brien




What a fantastic evening at Palace Theatre Redditch. From the first note to the last. What lovely people you have in your band.

A venue you may be interested in performing at is Artrix in Bromsgrove. Hope to see you there soon

- George & Julie




Hi, I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you for an enjoyable night last night at Redditch Palace Theatre. I bought the tickets a while ago as a christmas present for my mother who is a big John Denver fan. My wife and I sat next to her and could hear her quietly singing along to every song. She really did enjoy herself, as did we.

Your band also deserve a big thank you, they did you proud and are certainly very talented too.

Best wishes for the rest of your tour. The folks who come to see you are in for a treat.

- Regards, Rob.




Great show at the Palace tonight, didn't know what to expect being a Denver fanatic, it's superb that you are carrying this great music on. Wild Montanna Skies and Today were outstanding. My little girl Millie loved it too, thanks for the photo at the end! Make sure you come back soon. John Denver was the best ever songwriter the world has ever had, his music still needs to be heard! You guys keep doing it, superb!

- Andrew - Redditch




Been to the Palace at Redditch tonight with my wife and had a wonderful evening, well done all of you. You must try to perform at Theatre Severn in Shrewbury. It's a fantastic place and I know you would fill it easily.

Best wishes for the rest of your tour.

- Peter Williams




Just to let you know how much I enjoyed your concert tonight in Redditch. Very uplifting hearing John Denver songs again but sad at the same time with the realisation that his wonderful gift of songwriting and singing is lost

I live in Worcester so why not come to the Huntingdon Hall or Malvern next time?

Great show! Many thanks, Kevin

- Kevin Armstrong




Just caught your show at the Palace Theatre, Redditch. Really great night. Great music and songs with sad bits as well. So glad you are keeping the mans music alive and doing it so well.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon. By the way, we men were the better singers, ha ha, cheers...

- Jim and Lily




My wife and I saw the show at Mansfield last night. We try to support our local theatre, and whilst we came not as John Denver fans, we have certainly gone away as Country Road fans. A fantastic show with an extremely talented cast of players.

Thank you for a lovely evening.

- Colin Allum




What a fantastic concert at Mansfield last night. Have loved JD since the early 70's. Never stopped singing all through the concert. Can't wait to listen to the CD's I bought and relive it.

Hope to be there when you tour again.

Again, what a fantastic concert! Well done and thanks for a brilliant night.

- Elaine Booth




Was in the audience tonight in Mansfield... it was a very good show. As FOJD it's so good to hear John's music sung live. My daughter and I really enjoyed the show...

- Carole Thompson




Myself and two friends went to your show in Boston last night, what an evening!!! A night to remember!! You were all excellent, it was just like listening to John Denver himself. I saw him years ago in London, the songs as always were poignent, funny and emotional, it was also very entertaining! Jaime singing Eva Cassidys song was so beautiful!! Will definately be there when you are all next in Boston. Take care and enjoy your touring. xx

- Jeanne Barker




I just wanted to tell you how much my friend and I enjoyed your concert in Manfield last Thursday. You have an amazing clear strong voice. Congratulations for 25 years since New Faces and God Bless you and your team. x

- Carol Hannah




Just returned from the Redditch Palace Theatre - fantastic - Say John at the Apollo in Birmingham in the 60's and your performace brought it all back again - you spoke about having another 3 hours, I wish you could of carried on but I don't know whether your voice would though. Thanks for a great evening. I look forward to seeing you all again.

- Sandy Fletcher




Just seen you play at Blackfriars Theatre in Boston and just wanted to say that I thought all of you were fantastic, fantastic!! I have an ol' VW Camper and often listen to John while I'm trucking, wonderful feeling and to hear you bring John back to life for me tonight was a wonderful emotional evening.

- Danny Pearce




Was at your show in Mansfield last Thursday and just loved it! Both my husband and I are enthusiastic John Denver fans and have been for years - we saw him when he was in Nottingham some years ago.

Please let us know when you will be in the area again. We would love to watch the BBC show if you could let us know when it is being broadcast.

Keep up the good work, you do a great job!

- Margaret Edwards




Over the years we have seen many acts live, Dylan, Spingsteen, Cash and Baez. Last week at Mansfield we saw "John Denver", a wonderful portrayal and production, with great backing musician and visual effects... "They were flying for me" Moved one of us to tears. A show we will remeber and would like to see again. Brilliant!

- Maddie and Ian Wise




Hello Wayne, I don't do this very often but I felt I must congratulate you on your performance at the Palace Theatre, Mansfield on Thursday 19th May 2011. My wife and I saw you and I could tell you we enjoyed it very very much. You are the nearest thing to John Denver. By the way a number of my friends were there as well and honestly they said the same. Good luck for the future.

- Peter and Sandra Haynes




Last night was the first ever tribute concert we had ever attended, and as John Denver fans, we felt that it was a must. What a fantastic night, the whole band are amazing and Wayne is so like Denver himself it was truly moving. I spent most of the show mopping tears of laughter and from beautiful memories. Thank you and plese come back soon!

- Gill Keogh



Just wanted to thank you & the band for a fantastic show at Dunstable on Fri. night.

Having been unable to attend your Camberley show in May, we travelled up from Fleet in Hants & despite the horrendous traffic on the M25 it was well worth the effort.

I think it's terrific that you keep John's memory & music alive in such splendid fashion & I look forward eagerly to your next tour. Best Regards,

- Neil Atherton.



Hello Wayne, I felt I had to contact you asap to thank you for such a wonderful evening at The Grove Theatre, Dunstable yesterday.

Weeks ago, when I saw the show was booked, I contacted my cousin (who lives about an hour away) and we decided it might be a good idea if they came to stay for the night and we would see the show together. Well, it turned out, it wasn't a good idea. It was a great idea as we all enjoyed the show immensely had a brilliant evening.

I didn't catch last year's show but I will definately try to catch next year's.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you how faithful you are to the look and sound of John Denver, and it was so good to hear all those great songs again.

I also like the AV element in the show, which seemed to add an extra dimension to it.

Of all the songs you sang last night, there was only one I hadn't heard before. That was 'I Want to Live', and I have to admit that I was so moved by the words and the video that I was reduced to tears. When we go out for the evening to enjoy ourselves, we tend to forget about others who don't get that privelidge and it does us no harm to be reminded of them and their suffering.

What a wonderful idea to give Jaime Lovett a solo spot. Like you say, she has a wonderful voice; and I was thrilled when she sang one of my all time favourite songs, Fields of Gold.

- Eunice, Paul, Rosemary & Brian.



I have loved John Denver's songs since l974 and have almost his entire collection! When I saw Wayne was to play in Leatherhead I was really excited and the show was so good I went to Worthing as well!!

I thought JD would be a very difficult person to emulate and wondered if I would be able to engage but after a couple of minutes there was "never a doubt in my mind"! Now his music is revived in my heart and I can truly say - thank you Wayne - and don't leave it too long til you come "back home again!"

- Belinda Watt.



Just to say thankyou for a brilliant night in Worthing yesterday. When John died we thought that we would never be able to hear live performances of his songs again. Seeing you last night night has changed that.

We will certainly come and see you again when you are in the area. It was lovely to hear "Lady" as it is one of our special songs. Say thanks to your wonderful band as well. They were also brilliant. Keep up the good work. With best wishes.

-Mick & Rita.



I went to your Worthing show tonight and thanked you for giving me the chance to see the nearest thing to a John Denver concert. He has been my idol for many years and my 3 children have been brought up listening to his music, in fact my son took me to your show tonight and brought his girlfriend along to appreciate his music.

I think John should be proud of what you do in his name, you were extremely good. I was the lady who shouted for "Poems Prayers and Promises" maybe you could do "Seasons of the Heart" and "Shanghai Breezes" next time. Thank you once again, it was a great night. (I was singing every word along with you, silently)

-Bunty Nelson.



Thank You All for a great concert on the Isle of Wight last night. You brought John back to life with your show and it was nice to meet you afterwards.

Country Roads is a special song for us and it was great to sing along. Keep up the GREAT work.

- Keith and Judith Walker.



Message: We had a really enjoyable night at the Medina Theatre ( IOW ) last night. You are a fantastic tribute to a great man. Please come back again.
We love the CD.
All the best.

- Alan & Chris Fisher.



My wife and I had a brilliant evening at Hertford on saturday night. I have been a John Denver fan since the early 70's and your interpretation of his music was spot on. The fact that you covered some of his less commercial songs was great as he recorded a wealth of material that only die hard fans like myself would know.

Thank you again. Incidentally, the next time you visit Hertford could you play for me A Country Girl In Paris from the Higher Ground album. That would really make my day!

With our best wishes to you and all the band,

- David and Sally Sangster.



Hi, Wayne,

I left the copy ticket on 2nd April, IOW 30th Anniversary of the concert at Wembley Arena.

The Wembley date was, if I remember correctly, the second night of three. It was filmed by RCA and highlights were shown on BBC, but I missed them.

I have tried to find the show on dvd, but no luck yet.

On the night, John said to the audience becuase of the filming, "So if you're going to sing tonight, sing well, and I'll try and do the same."

An interesting thing was that my previous ladyfriend and I, when first together, since she liked JD I asked her which was her favourite song, and she said "I Want to Live" which was also mine, but I'd never seen it released in the UK at the time! I got it in Saudi Arabia while with an American company and the tapes being sold were from the states (or copies of). So it was a great surprise that she had even heard of the song.

A few years later, one morning, she woke and told me that as she was waking-up she was hearing JD singing, 'Rocky Mountain High' perhaps (it was 10 years back), and the thing is, I hadn't told her that the morning before I too had exactly the same phenomena, only in my case I think I was listening to 'To The Wild Country.'

I think it was John's spirit gift to us for being fans.
We also had wills that asked that only I Want to Live' was played at any funeral or equivilient when the time comes. All the best with your continued career.

We enjoyed the show.
Best wishes,

- Jim and Carolyn.
