2006-12-31	Mary asked me to post this new year's message: Hi Folks, Hope you all had a good year - its been a good year for me and my family. I've had a restful second half of 2006 and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things this coming February. Apologies for the delay in making available the extra tracks from Full Tide, however, I promise the EP is coming soon. I've decided to donate all the proceeds of my webshop to Focus Ireland, an organisation which does great work helping homeless people in Ireland (you can find them at www.focusireland.ie) I got the idea from my friend Janis Ian who set up The Pearl Foundation as a fundraiser on her website (check it out at www.janisian.com). I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Mark and you all a very happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. I really do appreciate all your support, thank you. Best Wishes, Mary
