If you'd like to get in touch I'd love to hear from you... I'm hoping that this site will become a focal point for 'Stanley' fans to contribute and share info, reviews, articles, photos etc. but just say 'howdy' if you wish.

Here in the UK it seems we are quite thin on the ground...

I'm also on the lookout for any live recordings, or video etc..

Email me at:-

"ivor at clinchmountainecho dot co dot uk"

I can also be found at the 'banjo hangout' as 'Buzzbomb'... and at the Star Gazers Lounge as 'Aramcheck' and don't forget the farcebook page, where updates to the site are posted.
