Tommy, thank you for the most entertaining night in probably my entire life
You were so amazing up there and you taught me and so many others so much
tonight ... i will always remember how THE GREAT TOMMY Emmanuel shook my hand on the 27/11/2012 and made me laugh so hard with the bass player jokes
and inspired me so much to keep practicing ..
Thank YOU for the best concert i have ever seen ...
your fan and student, Noam Buskila.

Hi!
I'm Ilan from Israel,
I have just been to your show and it was great !! ( I bet it's the first time you hear this comment! )
I have two things I want to say:
1) it was realy great
2) about the piece you wrote that was inspired from the native americans -
it reminded me of a piece called "Hiroshima" by Uli jon roth ( Urlrich roth ), didn't hear the story behind the song Hiroshima, but both pieces sound like they were inspired from the native music, and both tell a touching story with great music, you might want to check it out ( if you haven't already ... )

thanks again for the music, performance and the positive person that you are!

Ilan

Tommy,

I am currently a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, and was privileged enough to get off base to see your show tonight in Tel Aviv. As a musician and aspiring guitar player--and simply a passionate human being--I can tell you that what I experienced tonight will last me for a long, long time.

Especially resonant for me were your words about how you learned to play and write music. As someone who has, for nearly half a year now, come home exhausted from a long day on base, only to devotedly pick up that guitar and work on my playing... Despite having no technical training or professional teaching... it was truly inspiring for me to hear that. This is something I want to do for the rest of my life; I feel now a bit more hopeful that I can.

Thanks for a truly great night, Tommy. Keep doing what you're doing, with just as much heart, soul, energy, and sheer coolness. It leaves a powerful mark.

With much gratitude and admiration,

Ron Bronstein

Hi Tommy,
Your performance in Israel was absolutely wonderful, I enjoyed every minute of it. The things you do with a guitar... just wow!
I actually brought my brother along side with me to the concert, believe it or not he haven't heard about you before, but he was totally wowed after the show and is now hooked.
Great performance, hope to see you again in Israel.

Sincerely,
Zaf.

Hi Tommy,

Thank you so much for the great show in Tel Aviv. The show was easily the most enjoyable hours I've had in a long time. I had been wanted to see you perform ever since I've first heard your songs, almost ten years ago. Today has been a dream come true.

I really hope keep Israel as a regular stop in your tour so that I get a chance to see you again next year.

Many thanks,
Eran

Hey Tommy, Im Eyal from Israel, Ive just arrived from your concert, so Im still in shock :) and I wanted to thank you very much again!
Im a former boxer here in Israel and last time when you have been here my friend recommended me to come with him to your concert so I went, and since then, Im listening to your wonderful music every day, I bought my self an acoustic guitar and trained to play certain parts of your tones and I just enjoyed every minute!
So I wanted to tell you that you have given me inspiration and since I've heard your music my life is more fun!
I'm sure you've heard about the situation in here in our country, We finally have some peace here. last night I had a dream that you play at the end of the concert "Imagine" cause you know, I think that message is the best for our people here in the middle east, maybe next time it will be a chance :)
Thanks so much
peace
Eyal

i just came back home from your show in tel-aviv.
i have to say it's the best performance i ever saw.
you have restored me and my friend believe in true artists.
the way that you took the time at the show to explane your process was amazing
and it's shows that you really love what you do in the most honest way possible
.and of course the show was incredible and you gave like 7
encores which were unbelievable.
the song "still can't say goodbye" at the end was so moving!.
please come back to israel soon

p.s
we are all so proud of you that you've decided
to do the show despite the situation here

Just got home from your wonderful concert in Tel Aviv, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Being Aussies we saw you some years ago in Melb with your band, but you have developed so much since then. I describe you as ' CONTEMPORARY ART ON A GUITAR".
If you have never met the Israeli guitarist David Broza I suggest you do on your next visit. You would both benefit from the experience.
Keep enjoying yourself, as you obviously do.
All the best,
Miri

Dear Tommy,
Welcome to Copenhagen. As I write it is 12:10 am here in Tel Aviv on November 28, a little over half an hour since your concert ended. What astonishes me the most is that I first heard of you only a couple of months ago, when the ads for your concert appeared in the local press -- and I am older than you are. It is clear that most of the people in the hall were deeply familiar with you, your amazing skill, and your vast repertoire. I have never seen anyone do what you do with and to a guitar; nor have I ever heard someone play with the depth of feeling that you do. May you continue to maintain the stamina, persistence, and love of the craft that you need to provide the gift of your very special music-making to everyone who enjoys it -- including (or especially) yourself; and may you do so in continuous good health. All the best, Briana Simon
